Carbon Material Activation Equipment and Method

Abstract

The present invention of a carbon material activation equipment and method is advantageous in that since a carbon material used for electric process does not have to be an electrode shape, it is possible to separate the activated carbon material from a reactor free from damage to the activated carbon material after the electric process. A carbon material activation equipment according to the present invention comprises a reactor 12 to be filled with a particulate carbon material, an insulating container 10 with said reactor 12 placed therein, an electrolyte 18 to fill said insulating container 10 and said reactor 12, a counter electrode 14 placed under said reactor 12 in said insulating container 10, and a voltage applying means 22 to apply a voltage to said reactor 12, a working electrode, and said counter electrode 14.
