Process for the production of carbon molecular sieves

A carbonaceous adsorbent impreganted with elementary sulfur is produced by mixing the adsorbent with elementary sulfur in a quantity required for the desired impregnation, heating the mixture to a temperature between 120.degree. and 300.degree. C., maintaining this temperature over a time period of between 1 and 40 hours, and then cooling the mixture.

Method of manufacturing adsorbents

A method for thermal treatment, especially drying, of finely particulated bulk material comprises the steps of stirring the material in a reactor by means of a rotating stirrer while simultaneously discharging a heated gas under pressure through openings in a hollow arm of the stirrer so as to form in the reactor a whirling fluidized bed from the material, and introducing the necessary amount of heat for the thermal treatment of the material at least in part through a heat exchanger extending into the whirling fluidized bed. The apparatus for carrying out the method mainly comprises an arrangement for feeding the material through an inlet into a reactor forming a whirling chamber in which a rotating stirring device is arranged having at least one hollow stirring arm provided with openings through which a preferably heated gas under pressure is discharged into the material so as to form a whirling fluidized bed in the reactor, a heat exchanger extending through the fluidized bed, and an outlet for discharging the gas and treated material from the reactor. The reactor may also include an arrangement extending into the whirling fluidized bed for retarding flow of the material from the inlet to the outlet of the reactor, which arrangement may be constituted by a heat exchanger of lamellar construction so that the material will pass in cascades through the reactor.

A reactor for the continuous thermal treatment of solids, particularly carbonaceous adsorbents comprises two superimposed fluidizing beds, below them a combustion chamber for receiving a fuel- or oil-air mixture, an intermediate regeneration space between the fluidizing beds and a similar space above the upper fluidizing bed. A gas outlet is provided in the top regeneration space to which also the inlet for the material to be treated leads. The outlet for the treated materials is provided on the intermediate regeneration space. The two spaces are connected by a channel through which the overrun of treated material passes from the upper to the intermediate regeneration space. This channel leads from the upper space through the wall of the reactor to the outside and reverts then through the wall back into the intermediate space. Valve means are provided for regulating the flow in the connecting channel. The reactor is operated by passing a propelling gas from the combustion chamber through the apertured bottoms of the fluidizing beds. The propelling gas may have an excess of 10 to 30% of fuel gas relative to the air and additional air inlets may be provided in the intermediate space as well as an auxiliary burner so as to burn away impurities adhering to the treated material.

Bodies are press-molded from a mixture of particulate fuel and a binder. These bodies are heated to a temperature between about 600.degree.-900.degree. C. in a rotary furnace to degas them. The degassing is carried out without subjecting the bodies to mechanical stresses and without permitting combustion of the expelled volatile gases. The resulting shaped coke has a greatly improved abrasion resistance.

Manufacture of abrasion-resistant coke

The reactor has a reactor chamber bounded by a peripheral wall, and the reactor chamber is subdivided by an upright partition wall into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber. The partition wall extends transversely of the chamber and has free ends each of which is spaced from a juxtaposed portion of the peripheral wall by a distance equal to between substantially 10-30% of the cross-sectional dimension of the reactor chamber in a plane connecting these juxtaposed wall portions. The partition wall is laterally offset by between substantially 10 - 30% of the diameter of the chamber in the direction of offset so that the inlet chamber is larger than the outlet chamber. An inlet communicates with the inlet chamber to admit into the same carbon particles which require reactivation and has an opening having a cross-sectional area equal to between substantially 5 - 25% of the surface area of a bottom wall bounding said reactor chamber, and an outlet which communicates with the outlet chamber to remove activated carbon particles from the same, the particles from the inlet chamber being composed to pass through the gap between the free ends of the partition wall and the circumferential wall to reach the outlet chamber.
