CARBON - AN OLD BUT NEW MATERIAL REVISITED

Three areas of our past research are considered: carbon formation from catalyzed CO decomposition over iron and from liquid phase coking of hydrocarbons, the role of carbon active sites in the CO2 reaction and hydrocarbon CVD processes, and production and properties of carbon molecular sieves. In each case, the importance of rate processes has been emphasized. Where possible, an attempt has been made to integrate our research findings with those of other investigators. © 1990.
