Abstract: Disclosed herein are a process for producing a carbonaceous thin plate comprisingdisposing a composite material comprising a carbonaceous raw material which is carbonized and solidifies after being softened by heating and paper-like substances which are carbonized without melting between the pressing-surfaces of a heating press, so as to sandwich said carbonaceous raw material between said paper-like substances and to contact said paper-like substances with each of the pressing-surfaces of said heating press,press-molding said composite material by raising a temperature of said heating presscontinuously heating the thus press-molded composite material under a pressure, thereby carbonizing the thus press-molded composite material, andcalcining the thus carbonized material under a reduced-pressure or in an inert gas.

Abstract: An electrode substrate for a fuel cell having a high porosity, a good mechanical strength and electroconductivity and a sharp distribution of pore radii is prepared by a process comprising mixing 30 to 50% by weight of carbon fiber, 20 to 50% by weight of a binder and 20 to 50% by weight of an organic granule, press-shaping the resultant mixture, curing the shaped product and calcinating the cured product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tower for drying gaseous chlorine, in which a high polymeric composite material containing carbon fibers and electroconductive carbon black as the whole or a part of the reinforcing material and the material for giving electroconductivity is used as a wall material thereof for removing static electricity generating within the tower.

Abstract: An electroconductive resin composite material for molding having excellent mechanical strength and electrical properties. The resin comprises 100 parts by weight of polypropylene, from 10 to 50 parts by weight of a modified polypropylene obtained either by chemically modifying polypropylene with an organic unsaturated carboxylic acid or by copolymerizing propylene and the organic unsaturated carboxylic acid, from 5 to 65 parts by weight of carbon fiber having a diameter of 5 to 20 micrometers, the ratio of length to diameter of the fiber being not less than 10, and from 5 to 65 parts by weight of electroconductive carbon black, the specific surface area being at least 800 m.sup.2 /g.
