| abstract |
Continuous processes for the manufacture of porous carbon materials are disclosed. The process includes the reaction of a self-assembling polymeric mixture, followed by drying and extrusion of the cured, semi-dry polymeric gel extrudate prior to pyrolysis. Also disclosed are porous carbon materials, such as porous carbon monoliths, produced by these processes. In particular, hierarchically porous carbon materials for use as a catalyst support or for the adsorption of gas and other substances that are manufactured by these processes are also disclosed. |
