Basics
- Any form of high purity elemental carbon processed to have high porosity
- Used as a more efficient/dense chemical filter/reactor compared to standard carbon sources such as charcoal
- Can be produced by high temperatures, medium temperatures and steam, or chemicals
- Made with Calcium Chloride - [1]
- Source material is usually charred wood (charcoal) or some form of coal (coke or raw coal)
- We will be dealing with charcoal so most work is documented on Activated Charcoal
OSE Work
- Based of this and other research
- Use in Bioreactors , Anerobic Digesters , WWT , and PBRs as a high surface area additive for aiding sludge / biofilm development
- Use in chemical reactors, and in Fluidized Bed Reactors
- Can it replace Zeolite in applications where carbon is of no isse (granted out that may leave out most reactions...)
- On a side note Metal Sputtering etc may "seal" the carbon off effectively?
- Use as enhanced Biochar
