  • PROCESSES FOR PREPARING CARBON SOURCES FOR ACTIVATION AND FOR ACTIVATING CARBON
    Publication number: 20240327225
    Abstract: A process for preparing activated carbon includes combining crushed petroleum coke (petcoke) with non-aqueous potassium hydroxide. The petcoke and the potassium hydroxide are then heated to a sub-activation temperature to yield a pre-activated blend. Under substantially inert conditions, the preactivated blend is then heated to at least the activation temperature of the petcoke to yield a first-stage activated blend. The first-stage activated blend includes activated carbon of a first microporosity percentage. The first-stage activated blend is then cooled to below the activation temperature of the petcoke. Under substantially inert conditions, the first-stage activated blend is then re-heated to at least the activation temperature of the petcoke to yield a second-stage activated blend. The second-stage activated blend includes activated carbon of a second microporosity percentage that is less than the first microporosity percentage.
