Preparation and characterization of cation-exchanger using meso-carbon microbeads prepared by emulsion method

Preparation of mesocarbon microbeads and microstructure evolution

“…77 TI-PS/(wt'lo) 13 PI/(wt'lo) 10 Mesocarbon microbeads have been recognized as unique precursors for carbon materials of high performance, such as high density and high strength carbon artifacts [1,2], active carbon of high surface area [3,4], lithium battery anodes [5], ion exchanger [6,7] and spherical packing materials for column separators [8,9]. And MCMB are believed to ensure adequate adhesion among MCMB into the artifact through partial fusion at heat treatment, and moreover, their homogeneous shrinkage will not induce the defects in the artifact.…”
