<p>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 upon the activating gas, particularly CO2, which is beneficial for rapid generation of micropores during the activation process, yet retards excessive burn-off during oxidation applicable to biomass and processing of ligno-cellulosic and cellulosic waste byproducts, where it has potential economic advantage due to the compact reactor sizes, which can be built feasibly, as well as the reduced energy requirement.</p> |
