  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Property and Energy Conversion Technology of Solid Composite Sorbents

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

This chapter introduces techniques for developing different solid composite sorbents in detail, including processing ENG without or with graphite intercalation compounds (GICs), and developing the composite solid sorbents with ENG, activated carbon, activated carbon fiber and silica gel by simple mixture and consolidation or impregnation and compression.
