Scalable Specialty Carbon Adsorbents for Purification and Recovery Applications
contributed by Supelco |
What is a “Specialty Carbon Adsorbent”?
A graphic depicting a spherical particle is shown in Figure 1. Controlling pore composition is very important as it determines the adsorption and desorption characteristics of the particle. There are three types of pores relevant to carbon adsorbents. A macropore has a >500 Å diameter, a mesopore has a 20–500 Å diameter, and a micropore has a <20 Å diameter.
