  • Resol beads, methods of making them, and methods of using them
    Patent number: 8557381
    Abstract: Resol beads are disclosed that are prepared in high yield by reaction of a phenol with an aldehyde, with a base as catalyst, a colloidal stabilizer, and optionally a surfactant. The resol beads have a variety of uses, and may be thermally treated and carbonized to obtain activated carbon beads.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2013
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Charles Edwan Sumner, Ramesh Chand Munjal, Ruairi Seosamh O'Meadhra, Chester Wayne Sink, Jerry Steven Fauver, Robert Melvin Schisla, Shriram Bagrodia, Spencer Erich Hochstetler, Tera Jill Hardin

  • RESOL BEADS, METHODS OF MAKING THEM, AND METHODS OF USING THEM
    Publication number: 20090062501
    Abstract: Resol beads are disclosed that are prepared in high yield by reaction of a phenol with an aldehyde, in the presence of an effective-variable concentration of a nitrogen-containing base as catalyst, a colloidal stabilizer, and optionally a surfactant. The mean particle size of the resol beads is controlled by varying the effective-variable concentration of the nitrogen-containing base in the reaction mixture, wherein increasing the effective-variable concentration of the nitrogen-containing base produces an increase in the mean particle size of the resol beads. The resol beads obtained have a variety of uses, and may be thermally treated and carbonized to obtain activated carbon beads.
