Activated carbon bodies having phenolic resin binder.

摘要

A body made of carbon particles bonded together with a phenolic resin wherein the resin content is about 5% to about 35% by weight based on the total weight of carbon and resin.
A method for making the body involves forming an aqueous mixture composed of in percent based on the total weight of the activated carbon and phenolic resin about 5% to about 35% solid phenolic resin, about 4% to about 10% plasticizing organic binder which can be cellulose ethers, cellulose ether derivatives, and combinations thereof, and the balance of the mixture being activated carbon particles, forming the mixture into a body, and drying the formed body.
