Abstract:
A process for producing molecular-sieve carbon by thermally oxidizing the product of curing of a thermosetting resin, pulverizing the product of oxidative modification thus obtained, granulating the product of pulverization thus obtained, carbonizing the product of granulation thus obtained, thermally treating the product of carbonization thus obtained, and effecting micropore regulation of the product of thermal treatment thus obtained.
Abstract:
An adsorbent for nitrogen separation comprising molecular-sieve carbon prepared by the halogenation, dehalogenation followed by micropore adjustment of carbonized coal. The adsorbent can increase the quantity of nitrogen generated per unit quantity thereof, enhance the nitrogen yield, and reduce the nitrogen production cost. An adsorbent for carbon dioxide or methane comprising activated carbon prepared by the halogenation, dehalogenation followed by activation of carbonized coal can adsorb the gas in an increased quantity.
Abstract:
A porous carbonaceous material that can adsorb large quantities of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane is produced in a high yield by a process which comprises the step of halogenating carbonized coal by contact with a halogen gas to yield halogenated carbonized coal and the step of dehalogenating the halogenated coal to eliminate part or all of the halogen atoms therefrom. When this material is used for preparing an electric double-layer capacitor, the obtained capacitor has a larger electrostatic capacity than those prepared from other carbonaceous materials. Thus it is possible to produce a carbonaceous material having micropores and/or submicropores suitable for adsorbing small molecules of nitrogen or the like and storing electrochemical energies.
