Abstract
An adsorbent block that has a high adsorption efficiency and can be produced at a low cost is provided. A paste comprising water having mainly active carbon powder dispersed therein is prepared, and a molded block is formed with the paste. Water is removed from the molded block to bind mainly the active carbon powder, so as to obtain an adsorbent block formed to have cells. The paste contains an agar component that is capable of shrinking the molded block and of increasing the surface area of the cell by disappearance.
Claims5
A process for producing an adsorbent block comprising a first step of preparing a dispersion system comprising a liquid dispersion medium mainly having porous material powder as a solid disperse phase, and forming a molded block from said dispersion system, and
- a second step of removing said liquid dispersion medium from said molded block to bind mainly said porous material powder, so as to obtain an adsorbent block formed to have continuous flow paths,
- characterized in that said dispersion system contains a binder that is capable of binding said porous material powder and an area increasing agent that disappears by heating said molded block at a particular temperature, at which said binder does not disappear, and said second step comprises a liquid dispersion medium removing step of removing said liquid dispersion medium, and a heating step of heating said molded block at said particular temperature.
