- <p><span lang="EN-US">Activated carbon, renowned for its exceptional adsorption properties, plays a crucial role in various industries, including water purification, air filtration, and chemical processing. This review focuses on the manufacturing, application, and utilization of activated carbon derived from jute sticks, an abundant agricultural byproduct. The manufacturing process involves several steps: carbonization, activation, and sometimes modification to enhance specific properties. Carbonization at controlled temperatures converts jute sticks into char, which is then activated using physical or chemical methods to develop a porous structure. Activated carbon from jute sticks offers a sustainable alternative to conventional sources like coal and coconut shells. Its production not only utilizes agricultural waste but also contributes to waste management and environmental sustainability. The review explores the various activation methods, including physical activation using steam or CO2 and chemical activation with agents such as phosphoric acid or potassium hydroxide, detailing their impact on the pore structure and adsorption capacity of the final product. Applications of jute stick-based activated carbon are diverse. In water treatment, it effectively removes contaminants like heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants. Its role in air purification includes capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and controlling odors. Additionally, it finds use in energy storage devices like supercapacitors due to its high surface area and </span><span lang="EN-US">electrical conductivity. The utilization of jute sticks for activated carbon production presents a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. This review highlights the advancements in production techniques, the potential for large-scale application, and the environmental benefits of adopting jute stick-based activated carbon, paving the way for more sustainable industrial practices.</span></p>
