Method of preparing an adsorption material for a vaporizer

A method of preparing a porous and permeable adsorption material for a vaporizer, the method comprising the steps of:

• creating a mixture of raw materials, the mixture comprising:
• a silicon carbide particulate;
• a binder;
• a pore forming agent;
• and a surfactant;
• the mixture having the following weight percentages:
• silicon carbide powder 50-85 weight percent, binder 1-30 weight percent, pore forming agent 5-35 weight percent, and surfactant 0.15-7.5 weight percent;
• adding water to the mixture of raw materials while kneading to form a wetted mixture of raw materials, the water comprising from 5 weight percent to 35 weight percent of the mixture of raw materials;
• molding the wetted mixture of raw materials into a shaped body;
• heating the shaped body at a heating rate of 0.5-2.5 degrees Centigrade per minute to a drying temperature between 120 and 200 degrees Centigrade;
• maintaining the drying temperature for 2-10 hours;
• raising the drying temperature to a calcination temperature of 550-650 degrees Centigrade at heating rate of 1 to 6 degrees Centigrade per minute;
• maintaining the calcination temperature for 1 to 5 hours;
• increasing the calcination temperature to a final forming temperature at 750-1100 degrees Centigrade at a heating rate of 1 to 15 degrees Centigrade per minute;
• maintaining the final forming temperature for 0.5 to 5 hours;
• and
• cooling to room temperature to produce a porous and permeable adsorption material.
