Abstract
A solution has been proposed for eliminating the diffusion resistance by proper structuring of the activated carbon used as catalyst support or as adsorbent. A structured carbon has been obtained in the form of tubes corked from one side. The fluid flow from the space outside the tubes passes through the pores of the pipe walls, enters the tubes and goes out from their openings in the free cross section. If it contains absorbable components, after passing through the tube wall it goes out purified from them. If the activated carbon holds a catalyst, a chemical reaction between the components of the fluid flow on the surface of the catalyst is carried out. Tubes of activated carbon with different adsorption properties have been obtained, the iodine adsorption capacity achieved by now is up to 1150 mg/g and the surface area achieved is up to 1200 m2/g.
