CARBON BEADS WITH MULTIMODAL PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A method of producing a multi -modal pore distribution activated carbon is provided herein by preparing a solution comprising a polymer precursor, mixing an additional material with the polymer precursor in the solution, cross -linking the polymer precursor with the additional material mixed therein, carbonizing the mixture of the polymer precursor and the additional material, and activating the carbonized mixture to form a multi-modal pore distribution activated carbon. The multi -modal pore distribution activated carbon can include pores less than 2nm and greater than 3nm or 50nm depending upon the sorption properties desired, wherein the pore distribution of the activated carbon can be tailored to provide predetermined kinetics and/or gaseous constituent equilibrium isotherms.
