This study proposed a novel activated carbon which was prepared from coal spills by physical activation. It was activated in tube furnace at 500 °C with nitrogen injection. Based on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses, the coal spills-based activated car...
