Abstract

One aspect of the present invention relates to a carbonaceous material that has a benzene adsorption amount of 30 to 60%, a vitamin B12 adsorption amount of more than 50.0 mg/g, and a micropore volume of mesopores of 0.13 to 0.30 cm 3 /g as calculated from a nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a BJH method.

Claims (21)

1 . A carbonaceous material having a benzene adsorption amount of 30 to 60%, a vitamin B12 adsorption amount of more than 50.0 mg/g, and a volume of mesopores of 0.13 to 0.30 cm 3 /g as calculated from a nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a BJH method.

2 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein a specific surface area calculated by a BET method from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm is 1200 to 2000 m 2 /g.

3 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein an average micropore diameter calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm is 1.85 to 1.90 nm.

4 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein an electrical conductivity measured by powder resistance measurement under a load of 12 kN is 3 to 9 S/cm.

5 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonaceous material is derived from a plant-based carbonaceous precursor.

6 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 5 , wherein the plant-based carbonaceous precursor is a coconut shell.

7 . The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein

removal performance of a fluorine-containing organic compound obtained under following measurement conditions is 12000 or more in Bed Volume,

the measurement conditions: water (containing TOC of 1.2 ppm) adjusted to a PFOA concentration of 50±10 ppt and a PFOS concentration of 50±10 ppt is used as test water in a stainless steel column filled with a carbonaceous material and having a diameter of 6.2 mm, a height of 25.4 mm, and an internal volume of 0.77 mL, and under conditions of 7.2 mL/min and a space velocity (SV) of 560 hr −1 , a removal performance is defined as an amount of water (Bed Volume) from the start of passing water to a breakthrough point, which is obtained when water is passed upflow and a point at which a removal rate becomes lower than 80% is defined as the breakthrough point.

8 . A method for producing the carbonaceous material according to claim 1 using a fluidized bed furnace, the method comprising introducing, separately from a fluidized gas introduced from a hearth, an oxygen-containing gas into the fluidized bed furnace so that an oxygen concentration in a total gas of the fluidized gas and the oxygen-containing gas is 0.004 to 1 vol %.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a water vapor concentration in the fluidized gas introduced from the hearth is 10 to 40 vol %.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein

the fluidized bed furnace includes a gas dispersion part on an upstream side in the fluidized bed furnace as viewed in a flow main direction Z of the fluidized gas, and

the method comprises, when an upstream end position of the gas dispersion part in the direction Z is 0 (m), a downstream end position is t1 (m), and a position at which the oxygen-containing gas is introduced is t2 (m), introducing the oxygen-containing gas so as to satisfy a relationship of 0.5t1≤t2.

11 . A water purification filter comprising:

the carbonaceous material according to claim 1 ; and

a fibrous binder,

wherein the fibrous binder has a CSF value of 10 to 150 mL, and 4 to 10 parts by mass of the fibrous binder is contained with respect to 100 parts by mass of the carbonaceous material.

12 . A water purifier comprising the carbonaceous material according to claim 1 .

13 . A water purifier comprising the water purification filter according to claim 11 .

14 . A fluorine-containing organic compound removing material comprising the carbonaceous material according to claim 1 .
