Claims46
A processed carbon material comprising granular amorphous carbon that has been consolidated in a hot isostatic press under elevated temperature and pressure to produce an amorphous carbon material, wherein the temperature is in the range of about 200-1000° C.
A process for the production of a carbon material comprising the steps:
- providing amorphous carbon;
- and
- consolidating the amorphous carbon using elevated temperature compression without the use of a binder to produce an amorphous carbon material.
A processed carbon material comprising amorphous carbon that has been consolidated under elevated temperature and pressure without the use of a binder to produce an amorphous carbon material.
A processed carbon material comprising amorphous carbon particles that have been consolidated under elevated temperature and pressure, wherein the amorphous carbon particles are coalesced without the use of a binder to form an amorphous carbon material.
A process for the production of a carbon material comprising the steps:
- providing amorphous carbon;
- and
- consolidating the amorphous carbon using no binder and using elevated temperature compression at a temperature in the range of about 200-2700° C. and at a pressure in the range of about 500-50,000 psi to produce an amorphous carbon material.
A process for the production of a carbon material comprising:
- placing amorphous carbon without a binder in a hot isostatic press;
- and
- operating the press at a temperature in the range of about 200-2700° C. and at a pressure in the range of about 500-50,000 psi to produce an amorphous carbon material.
A process for the production of a carbon material comprising:
- placing amorphous carbon in a hot isostatic press;
- and
- operating the press to consolidate the amorphous carbon using elevated temperature compression without the use of a binding agent to form an amorphous carbon material.
