A porous carbon is prepared by first carbonizing a solid fraction (obtained from pitch and/or coal by solvent extraction and preferably being one soluble in quinoline and insoluble in methanol, n-heptane and toluene) to produce a first porous carbon, absorbing into the first porous carbon liquid fraction (obtained from pitch and/or coal by solvent extraction and preferably being one insoluble in methanol and soluble in n-heptane, toluene and quinoline and/or one insoluble in methanol and n-heptane and soluble in toluene and quinoline), and carbonizing the first porous carbon containing adsorbed liquid fraction to give a second porous carbon having a specific surface area greater than that of the first porous carbon. The first porous carbon may, prior to absorption therein of the liquid fraction, be 'activated' e.g. by heating in air, to increase its pore size as may the second porous carbon. The porous carbon obtained may be used as a catalyst support. |
