Particle size, carbons

Each application for carbon treatment must be cognizant of the characteristics of the contaminant to be removed and designed with the proper carbon type in order to attain optimum results. Basically, there are two forms of activated carbon powdered and granular. The former are particles that are less than U.S. Sieve Series No. 50, while the latter are larger. The adsorption rate is influenced by carbon particle size, but not the adsorptive capacity which is related to the total surface area. —...

The carbon particle size varied from 80 to 120 run. The BET surface areas of carbon as a function of methane flow rate were compared with those of commercial carbon blacks in Table 3. The BET surface area ranges from 81 to 193 m /g with methane flow rates and this decrease is due to the increase of particle size. Carbon black which has lower surface area of 30 to 100 m /g can be used in rubber industry, while high surface area (> 700 m /g) carbon black is applied to activated carbon. 

A combination of graded calcium carbonate particle sizes, a nonionic polysaccharide of the scleroglucan type, and a modified starch, has been claimed for use as a fluid loss formulations [915]. It is important that the calcium carbonate particles are distributed across a wide size range to prevent filtration... 

Another way to examine the effect of carbon particle size on kinetics is to look at the bleed emissions from a carbon canister [20,35]. Bleed emissions are those emissions that occur prior to break through. They are the result of the diffusion of gasoline vapor components that can develop during extended soak times between purge and adsorption events. 

The evolving structural characteristics of CLs are particularly important for further analysis of transport of protons, electrons, reactant molecules (O2), and water as well as for the distribution of electrocatalytic activity at Pt-water interfaces. In principle, the mesoscale simulations allow relating these properties to the choices of solvent, ionomer, carbon particles (sizes and wettability), catalyst loading, and hydration level. Explicit experimental data with which these results could be compared are still lacking. Versatile experimental techniques have to be employed to study particle-particle interactions, structural characteristics of phases and interfaces, and phase correlations of carbon, ionomer, and water in pores. 

Ageing is better for the coarser PCC grade. The observation that the finer the calcium carbonate particle size, the higher the tendency to gel is likely due to fine particles having greater surface area, thus having inadequate dispersant to cover the surface and provide particle stability. 

With the paper industry requiring more and more sophisticated products from mineral producers and particularly finer and finer calcium carbonate particle size slurries, the need to improve dispersants is becoming a reality. The work described in this paper is the beginning of research on improved dispersants for preparation of PCC and GCC slurries and also other minerals. 

Light Dispersion. The idea of different tints being seen as a scattering spectrum as a result of different carbon particle sizes is intellectually attractive. A word on the general principles involved is in order.
