パーム核炭を原料とする活性炭の研究

抄録

Carbonized plam kernel shell (a) was steam-treated to prepare activated carbon and activation characteristics in preparation as well as adsorption charateristics of the resulting activated carbon were compared with those of a commercial coconut shell carbon (b).
Reaction rate of (a) with steam is smaller than that observed with (b).
The adsorption behavior and pore size distribution suggest that activated carbon from (a) is suitable for smaller molecular absorbates.
On the adsorption of styrene monomer in the fixed beds, activated carbon from (a) was superior to a commercial activated carbon from (b) with regard to break-through time and retentiveness of adsorption.
The experimental results indicate that activated carbon from (a) has ability of deodorization as Well as decolorization.
