The present invention relates to a porous carbon material having a nitrogen content of 0.5 to 2.0 mass % and an iron content of at least 400 mg/kg-porous carbon material or more, and also having an electrical conductivity of 10 S/cm or more as determined by powder resistance measurement.

Porous carbon material, method for producing same and use of same

One aspect of the present invention relates to a porous carbon material having a nitrogen content of 0.6 to 2.0% by mass, a G band half-value width of 51 to 60 cmand an R value of 1.08 to 1.40 measured in a Raman spectrum using a laser having a wavelength of 532 nm, and iodine adsorption performance of 1000 to 1500 mg/g.

Porous carbon material, method for producing same, and use of same

One aspect of the present invention relates to an adsorption filter containing an activated carbon and a fibrous binder. The adsorption filter has a density of 0.400 g/ml or more, and a pore volume at a pore diameter of 1 to 20 &#x3bc;m is 0.60 ml/g or less as measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry.

Adsorption filter

The present invention relates to an activated carbon having an electric conductivity of 3.5 S/cm or more obtained by powder resistance measurement under a load of 12 kN and an oxygen content of 3.0% by mass or more, and a metal-carrying activated carbon using the same, and the like.

Activated carbon, metal-carrying activated carbon using same and hydrogenation reaction catalyst

An activated carbon having a high catalytic activity as an oxidation catalyst or a decomposition catalyst, and use therefor are provided. The activated carbon has (a) an oxygen content in a range from 1.40 to 4.30% by mass, (b) a nitrogen content in a range from 0.90 to 2.30% by mass, (c) a sulfur content in a range from 0.50 to 1.20% by mass, and (d) a hydrogen content in a range from 0.40 to 0.65% by mass. The activated carbon may have at least one characteristic of (e) an amount of an acidic surface functional group of 0.10 to 0.36 meq/g, (f) an amount of a basic surface functional group of 0.50 to 1.30 meq/g, and (g) a benzene adsorption capacity of 25 to 50%. The activated carbon catalyzes an oxidation reaction of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid with a peroxide (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) and achieves an efficient production of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine even after repetitive use. The activated carbon also efficiently decomposes a chloramine.

Activated carbon and use therefor

The invention provides a filter element exhibiting an excellent deodorizing and adsorbing function with low pressure drop, as well as to a method for its manufacture and a filter using the element. The filter element is manufactured by coating a base fabric with an adhesive and allowing the fabric to move in an electrostatic field formed by a high voltage generating device to allow pulverized adsorbent powder with a specific mean particle size and standard deviation to electrostatically adhere to the base fabric surface. The filter element can also be manufactured by dispersing a pulverized adsorbent powder on the surface of a base fabric comprising heat-fusible fibers, and then partially fusing the heat-fusible fibers by heating to attach them to the adsorbent powder and allow the adsorbent powder to adhere to the base fabric surface.

Filter element, method for manufacture thereof, and filter using said element

A porous adsorbent with a urea compound having a urea linkage within the molecule thereof and an inorganic acid and/or an organic acid supported on a porous support is shown. The porous adsorbent is capable of efficiently eliminating lower aldehydes at ordinary temperature for a prolonged period of time.
