The acid-leached char produced in high yield by the pyrolysis of the potassium salt of a brown coal (Yallourn seam, Victoria, Australia) is shown to have an internal surface area in excess of 1100 m\*/g without the need for activation. Tabletting, or extrusion, of the potassium salt of the coal perm

โฆ Synopsis
method was developed for the production of carbon adsorbents from brown coal and the products analyzed. A mixture of brown coal with shale resin and propane asphalt enables one to produce, through existing industrial process, carbon adsorbents with high mechanical strength, low ash content (3.0-4.5%), and sufficiently large micropore volume (0.11-0.16 cm3/cm3), heat of adsorption 20.4-21.4 kJ/mol, that can be utilized in adsorption-desorption processes removing small-size molecules from gaseous media, for water desalination and for the treatment of phenol effluents.
