  • Patent number: 5256476
    Abstract: Provided are molded adsorbents comprising a mixture of adsorbent particles, fine plastic particles and a reinforcing fiber, the mixture having been molded utilizing the fine plastic particles and, as required, the reinforcing fiber as binder. They have features, as compared with conventional molded adsorbents utilizing a latex binder, having an adsorptive capacity having been decreased to a smaller extent from those of the raw material adsorbent particles used and higher adsorption rate owing to well-maintained porosity. They have good mechanical properties at normal temperature and can hence be processed by cutting or like machinings into various machine parts, including blades of fans having both adsorptive capacity and high mechanical properties. Also provided are a process for producing the above molded adsorbents and their use as deodorizing units.
