Activated carbon (AC) produced from agglomerated purified carbonaceous product (PCP) are provided. The PCP is in particulate form, at least about 90% by volume (%v) of the particles are no greater than about 25 J.l m in diameter; the PCP has an ash content of less than about 5%m and a water content of up to about 60 %m. The PCP may be used to make AC, or utilized as an additive for production of AC from other carbonaceous feedstocks. |
