Catalytic carbon

Abstract

Carbonaceous chars capable of catalytically decomposing aqueous hydrogen peroxide at higher rates at given char densities than other known catalytic chars are provided for. This improvement is provided by an increase in the catalytic activity at a given char density of the said catalytically-active carbonaceous char. The catalytically-active carbonaceous chars are useful for, but not limited to, the catalytic conversion of H.sub.2 S, SO.sub.x, NO.sub.x, peroxides, and/or chloramines in liquid and/or gaseous media.
