Ah&act-Surface acidity of charcoals prepared by the carbonisation of PVDC, PVC, Saran, PF and UF polymers has been determined by titration with sodium hydroxide and sodium ethoxide. The surface acidity as determined by titration with 0.2N sodium hydroxide solution is found to be almost exactly equiv

✦ Synopsis
Ah&act-Eleven different chars prepared from four polymer precursors viz. polyfurfuryl alcohol (PF), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and urea formaldehyde resin (UF) have been studied for their surface complexes by evacuating to 1200°C in steps. The amount of oxygen and hydrogen associated with different chars depend upon the nature of the polymer used and the history of their carbonization. The associated oxygen and hydrogen constitute different types of surface compounds which involve different bonds at diierent sites asociated with varying energy levels. The total oxygen evolved as CO,, CO and HZ0 corresponds to the value obtained by ultimate analysis while the total hydrogen evolved as water vapor and free hydrogen is -2540% less compared to ultimate analysis. In PVDC and PVC chars oxygen evolved as CO, constitutes -60% of total oxygen but for PF and UF chars oxygen associated as CO forms the major part of total oxygen contents.

Interaction of poIymer charcoais with bromine in aqueous sofutions results in the conversion of bromine into HBr and its fixation by the charcoals. The amount of bromine converted into HBr is related to the surface acidity of the char while the amount fixed depends upon the nature of the char and th

## This research is divided into two parts : the first one investigates the case that at the surface the COs-pressure is extremely small (temperature higher than 1100 "C) and the second part the case that at the surface the COs-pressure is moderate and that oxygen can reach the surface (e.g. surfa
