Since the capacity of an adsorbent is expressed in terms of the surface area or the amount adsorbed per weight unit, high-density adsorbents are required. The dried leftover lignocellulose of furfural production due to its good self-binding properties can be granulated or palletized and used as a potential raw material for production of high-density activated carbon sorbents with double density, in comparison with activated carbon from charcoal.
