CARBON MONOLITH, CARBON MONOLITH WITH METAL IMPREGNANT AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A process for preparing a self-supporting monolithic porous carbonaceous adsorbent structure involves drying a mixture of non-gelling polymeric carbon precursor particles and an organic latex binder at a temperature of 100°C or less to form a solid monolith of polymeric carbon precursor particles bound by an organic polymer matrix in a pre-determined shape. The solid monolith in the pre-determined shape is carbonized at a temperature of 800°C or less to form a self-supporting monolithic porous carbonaceous adsorbent structure. A metal impregnant is introduced before or after carbonization of the solid monolith.
