Abstract
We produced porous carbon from the used paper available as a plant basis. Plants can grow on the carbon, because it has a great deal of pore. So we studied how the pores are generated in process of carbonization. The pores are very important to growth of the plants. The pores are also very influential to handling strength of the carbon. Therefore we investigated the relation between strength and the pore or density. In addition, the carbonization process was examined from the standpoint of volatilization.
