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