Carbon pellets with controlled porosity

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Carbon particulates comprising carbon black spheres and a carbon binder having large pores as well as desirable pore size distributions are disclosed which are useful as selective adsorbants and catalyst supports. A method of preparation and various uses are also disclosed. The carbon particulates are made by mixing carbon spheres with a carbonizable binder in a volatile medium, forming the mixture into packed particulate shapes and, then removing the volatile medium ant carbonizing the binder by means of heat.
