The soft textured wood of grey alder (Alnus incana), is out of demand due to its low technical properties. In the present study, the feasibility to convert this easy-procurable raw material to high-density activated carbon sorbents has been investigated. During steam treatment by high temperature autohydrolysis, the wood was converted into a self-bonding material. By moulding, carbonization and steam activation, activated carbon boards with good mechanical properties were obtained.
