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%

β¦ Synopsis
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 permits production of a hard, active carbon as shaped granules. Of the cations investigated -sodium, potassium and magnesium -potassium was unique with regard to the formation of such a highly active char.

Devolatilization of an Illinois-basin coal was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range 600 to 900Β°C. A vertical heated-wall fixed-bed furnace reactor was used. Char produced was activated in the presence and absence of steam using the same furnace setup. The surface area of
Two petrographic types of Tertiary brown coals, xylitic and earthy, were carbonized, and activated with carbon dioxide between 1123 and 1273 K. The development of porosity in the activated chars was studied by adsorption of benzene and carbon dioxide at 298 K and by mercury porosimetry. The type of
