Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Lignite is to be used as a source material for the production of activated carbons by charring and treatment with transitional metal salts. The development of the micropore structure in the charring and activation processes will be monitored and related to the adsorption characteristics of the carbons for a range of adsorbate molecules, namely organic dyes, gases and heavy metals. The basis of this work will lead to the development of a range of speciality carbons with specific internal pore structures.The regeneration of the carbons after the adsorption processes will be investigated to determine any changes in the internal structure and adsorption properties after the regeneration processes.
