Abstract: The described process relates to the production of carburizing agents by compacting carbon dusts with a binder, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, with addition of water and an auxiliary gelling agent. The auxiliary gelling agents used is glyoxal and/or bases of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or ammoniacal water. At from 0.5 to 2% by weight the requirement of binder is so small that no noticeable changes in the analytical values for the carbon dust used appear. The molded bodies produced from the compositions are dried at from 20.degree. to 180.degree. C. Calcination is not required.
Abstract: Process for the preparation of a composition comprised mainly of carbon and containing only a small amount of ash, nitrogen and sulfur, said process comprisingA. drying a hydrous soot with hot flue gas of about 600.degree. C in a direct current-operated dryer to form a dried soot having a water content of about 5 to about 20 percent by weight;B. carbonizing said dried soot in a vertical flue oven by heating at a flue temperature of about 900.degree. to about 1300.degree. C for about 25 to about 40 hours; andC. drying, comminuting and classifying the resulting composition.The composition is useful as a coking agent, filter aid, and in the production of carbon and graphite products.
