STUDY ON THE PREPARATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON FROM VITRINITE AND FUSINITE CONCENTRATED FROM TAIXI ANTHRACITE

Preparation of activated carbon from vitrinite and fusinite concentrated from Taixi anthracite using gravitational separation has been studied. The process consists of briquetting, carbonization and activation etc.. It was found that adsorption properties of activated carbon prepared from vitrinite is superior to those of activated carbon prepared from fusinite because of their different properties. The specific surface of activated carbon prepared from vitrinite is up to 1 600 m 2/g.
