Abstract: | Molecular sieving carbons (MSCs) were prepared from carbonized phenol-formaldehyde resin wastes by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of the pyrolyzed carbon from hydrocarbon species. The pore size of the MSCs could be controlled in the range 0.37-0.42 nm by changing the hydrocarbon species pyrolyzed, the pyrolyzing temperature, and the processing time. It is shown that some of the MSCs have an excellent selectivity for separating CO2 and CH4, and others for separating C3H8 and C3H6. As the mechanism for controlling the pore size during CVD processing, we elucidated that the adsorption of hydrocarbon molecules first takes place on the pore surface and then the adsorbed hydrocarbons pyrolyze into carbon. Therefore, the pore size of the MSC can be adjusted by controlling the amount hydrocarbon adsorbed on the phenol-formaldehyde resin char. |
