Activated carbon (charcoal) Activated carbon is commonly used as an adsorbent. It has a microporous structure and possesses a large surface area for adsorption. Drugs or chemicals adsorbed on activated carbon particles exist in dynamic equilibrium with nonadsorbed drugs. The aqueous suspensions of activated carbon, available commercially... 

In order to avoid these extremely dangerous phenomena, methods of treatment of PO with adsorbents (active carbon, charcoal, attapulgite, diatomaceous earth) were devised. By the treatment at room temperature of PO with these adsorbents (0.1-1% adsorbent in liquid PO), after a short contact time of about 15 minutes the high MW polyether is almost quantitatively retained by adsorption. The PO resulting after the filtration of the solid adsorbent is practically free of high MW polymers, and the polyethers obtained with the treated PO can be used to manufacture resilient flexible foams which will not collapse, with high rise and free of blow hole formation. 

Heat treatment of sugar solutions containing acids and proteins results in nonenzymatic browning. The presence of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfuraldehyde (HMF) was shown to be a good indicator of Maillard reactions [158]. Decolorization of the solution can be done with activated carbon, charcoal as filtration coadjuvant and polyvinylpyrrolidone [132,160,161],... 

Several attempts have been made to prove that the last peak of the oxidation experiment represents the combustion of deposited carbon. For that purpose the oxidation of graphite and activated carbon (charcoal) has been analyzed. When testing graphite by means of DSC no oxidation maximum could be achieved in the temperature range available. The upper temperature limit of the DSC instrument is 625 °C or 650 °C maximum. Checking by means of STA results in DTG and DTA maximum temperatures of 832 °C (j8= 10 K/min ... 

In experiments made by the author on graphite oxidation did not occur because the temperature range did not suffice in the DSC instrumentation at 7 bar air pressrae. TGA experiments demonstrate a start temperature of the oxidation (71 %) for graphite of 650 C and for activated carbon (charcoal) of 427 "C at 1 bar air pressure (Table 3-19). The...

The values of the real systems, obtained from experiments at pressures up to 50 bar, may be extrapolated to still higher pressures since E = f(P) and log A = f(F) are continuous functions. The supply of oxygen in the oxidation experiments at 50 bar pressure is sufficient to ensure attainment of the asymptotic limits at least in the first reaction step (LTO). Evaluation of the second reaction step of the oxidation (fuel deposition) is more difficult because an increase of the heating rate provokes the occurrence of additional peaks, which will be flattened as a consequence of a rise of the pressure. For the consecutive and parallel oxidation and pyrolysis reactions in this step, overall values of E and log A have been found, which only give steady functions for the vacuum residue. The data of the last reaction step (fuel combustion) may be evaluated very easily. They also give steady functions for E = f(P) and log A = f(P). All substances tested behave similarly to activated carbon (charcoal). Only the coke residue of -hexylpyrene reacts completely differently and demonstrates different curves in the plots of the reaction rate constant and the half life time versus the pressure. In this reaction step the curves did not reach the asymptote even at pressures of 50 bar, but they may be extrapolated to higher pressures. 

On the other hand, absorption onto a solid surface may be employed and solids employed for this purpose include activated carbon, charcoal, and iron sponge. Finally, acid gases may be chemically converted by reactants such as ferric oxide, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, and vanadium pentoxide. Some of these processes remove both carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, whereas others selectively remove hydrogen sulfide (Speight, 2007).

Thus, it is apparent that active carbons, charcoals, carbon blacks, and carbon films before and after several different treatments such as oxidation, degassing, treatment with alkalies, adds, and methylation have been examined by different IR techniques, and meaningful results have been obtained, which help in the identification of carbon-oxygen surface groups. These results have been well reviewed. ... 

Most of the annual worldwide consumption of 5-6 million tons of phosgene is produced from carbon monoxide and chlorine in the presence of a catalyst based on activated carbon (charcoal) in special plants. The process, the tetrachloro-methane problem associated with it, and the approaches to solve it, are described in Section 2.1. 

Vine shoots have also been investigated as raw materials for the production of cattle feed [167], methanol and fuels [168—171], lactic acid [172,173], compost [132], active carbon (charcoal) [174—176], and sorbents for pesticide control [177]. 

Beyond dewatering, however, is the possibility of decontaminating polluted sediments of which there is an abundance of sites and situations. For decontamination the addition of activated carbon, charcoal, or phosphoric rock is possible in which pollutants are adsorbed onto the soil particles and remain in the fabric enclosure while the effluent is decontaminated to the necessary degree. Examples of a number of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated chemicals were presented in this regard.
