A method and apparatus for the thermal activation of carbonaceous materials to obtain highly porous, high surface area active carbons in very short processing times, based on the catalytic effect of certain wall materials up on the activating gas, particularly CO2, which is beneficial for rapid generati on of micropores during the activation process, yet retards excessive burn-off during oxidation applicable to biomass and processing of ligno-cellulosic an d cellulosic waste byproducts, where it has potential economic advantage due t o the compact reactor sizes, which can be built feasibly, as well as the reduc ed energy requirement. |
