Physically activated carbon uses van der Waals forces or London dispersion forces to bond materials. Alcohols, diols, strong bases and acids, metals, and the majority of inorganic substances, like sodium, lithium, lead, iron, fluorine, arsenic, and boric acid, do not bond well to AC. Iodine is particularly well adsorbed by AC.
