CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, WATER PURIFICATION FILTER, AND WATER PURIFIER

One aspect of the present invention relates to a carbonaceous material having a BET specific surface area calculated from a nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a BET method, of 750 m2/g or more and 1000 m2/g or less, a ratio of a pore volume of pores of 0.3875 to 0.9125 nm calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a HK method to a total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 80% or more, and an average pore diameter obtained by the following formula using the BET specific surface area and the total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 1.614 nm or less: D=4000×V/S (wherein D represents the average pore diameter (nm), V represents the total pore volume (mL/g), and S represents the specific surface area (m2/g)).
