Sugar additive blend useful as a binder or impregnant for carbon products

摘要

A sugar/additive blend useful as a binder or impregnant for carbon products. Simple sugars as well as sucrose are combined either in solution or in solid form with reactive additives such as ammonium hydrogen phosphate, ammonium chloride and para-toluene sulfuric acid. The sugar/additive blends form more and denser carbon residue than sugar alone when subjected to pyrolysis.
