Study Notes
Crystallite Mobility and Size
- Higher mobility results in larger crystallite size and improved crystallite orientation.
- Important for the development of advanced materials, including oxide and graphite intercalated compounds (GICs).
Activation of Charcoal
- Charcoal activation is performed by heating it between 600–1200 °C in the presence of oxidizing gases like CO2, steam, or air.
- Alternative activation methods include chemical impregnation with acids (e.g., phosphoric acid), bases (e.g., potassium hydroxide), or salts (e.g., zinc chloride), followed by heating to 450–900 °C.
Micropores in Activated Carbon
- The structure of activated carbon (AC) primarily consists of micropores.
- Micropores play a critical role in the adsorptive properties of AC, enhancing its effectiveness in various applications.
Characteristics of Activated Carbon Fibers
- Among various activated carbon materials, fibers exhibit the narrowest distribution of pore sizes and are abundant in nanopores.
- These characteristics make activated carbon fibers particularly suitable for applications requiring specific adsorption properties.
Biomedical Applications
- Coronary artery stents and heart valves can activate platelets upon contact with blood.
- Release of metallic ions from these devices may result in enzyme inhibition, posing potential risks in medical applications.
