A process for manufacturing a spherical activated carbon, characterized by comprising the steps of: n(1) forming a spherical substance of a heat-fusible resin, n(2) oxidizing the spherical substance of a heat-fusible resin to form a heat-infusible spherical substance, and n(3) activating the heat-infusible spherical substance to form the spherical activated carbon is disclosed. According to the process for the manufacture, a spherical activated carbon having desirable properties, such as an average particle diameter, a particle size distribution, a pore volume, or a specific surface area, can be easily prepared. |
