A powder comprises a mixture of up to 40 weight percent activated cokes and inert materials. In the mixture, at least one of the inert material components is matched in terms of its grain size distribution to the grain size distribution of the activated coke component so that in a gas medium at rest, the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the inert material component is substantially equal to the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the activated coke component.

Mixed powder containing a carbon compound

A powdered medium for the cleaning of exhaust gases, e,g. smoke and gases from industrial chimneys, employing the principle of dry adsorption, which includes a mixture of activated cokes with inert materials which have no dust explosiveness To prepare a mixture containing powdered activated cokes, in which mixture the concentration of carbon is up to 30% by weight and which when used in the airstream process under essentially all operating conditions, is not subject to virtually any fluctuations in concentration such that with a concentration of oxygen up to 21% by volume, no dust-explosive fractions can form, at least one inert material component in the mixture is matched in terms of its grain size distribution to the grain size distribution of the activated coke component, so that in a gas medium at rest, the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the inert material components is substantially equal to or greater than the speed of vertical descent of the coarse grain of the activated coke components. The powdered medium can be used in essentially all exhaust gas cleaning systems, in separately operated or upstream or downstream adsorption stages employing the airstream principle.
