Abstract
Process for producing carbon molecular sieves for separating oxygen and nitrogen by treating a carbonaceous product with inert gas and steam in a vibrating oven and further treating said product with benzene at a high temperature in a vibrating oven to thereby narrow the existing pores.
Claims2
Process for producing carbon molecular sieves for the separation of oxygen and nitrogen, wherein a carbonization product with a content of up to 5% by volume of volatile components is treated with carbon-splitting hydrocarbons which react in the carbon structure of the carbonization product with narrowing the already existing pores, characterized in that the carbonization product is passed through a vibrating oven at 800.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. for 5 to 30 minutes, whereinto a stream of inert gas with a steam concentration of 20 to 95% by volume has been fed in counterflow to produce a slightly activated product and this slightly activated product is again passed through the vibrating oven, at 750.degree. C. to 850.degree. C., whereinto a stream of inert gas with a benzene vapor concentration of 5 to 12% by volume has been fed in counterflow to produce a carbon molecular sieve having narrower pores than said carbonization product.

C. to 850.degree. C., whereinto a stream of inert gas with a benzene vapor concentration of 5 to 12% by volume has been fed in counterflow to produce a carbon molecular sieve having narrower pores than said carbonization product.
