Abstract

The effect of the rank of coal (Cdaf = 80−95.2%) on the yield and characteristics of activated carbons prepared under the conditions of alkaline activation (800°C, 1 h, Ar) at KOH/coal ratios of 1 g/g was studied. Under these conditions, the ability of coals to form porous materials decreased in the metamorphic series. Grade D coal (Cdaf = 80%) exhibited a maximum activation ability to form a material with S BET = 1560 m2/g, V Σ = 0.71 cm3/g, and V mi = 0.51 cm3/g. A minimum activation ability was found in anthracite (Cdaf = 95.2%), which forms activated carbon with poorly developed porosity (S BET = 306 m2/g, V Σ = 0.15 cm3/g, and V mi = 0.11 cm3/g).
