ACTIVATED CARBON AND CANISTER AND INTAKE AIR FILTER UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides an activated carbon having an average length/average diameter (L/D) of 0.8 to 1.2 and a difference between the 1/1-volume benzene adsorption rate and the 1/10-volume benzene adsorption rate of 6.0 g/100 mL or more, and a canister and an intake air filter utilizing such activated carbon as an adsorbent. The activated carbon has a substantially spherical configuration and excellent hydrocarbon adsorption/desorption capacity. A canister and an intake air filter utilizing such activated carbon as an adsorbent have excellent hydrocarbon adsorption/desorption capacity.
