Abstract

One aspect of the present invention relates to a carbonaceous material having a BET specific surface area calculated from a nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a BET method, of 750 m 2 /g or more and 1000 m 2 /g or less, a ratio of a pore volume of pores of 0.3875 to 0.9125 nm calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a HK method to a total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 80% or more, and an average pore diameter obtained by the following formula using the BET specific surface area and the total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 1.614 nm or less: D=4000×V/S (wherein D represents the average pore diameter (nm), V represents the total pore volume (mL/g), and S represents the specific surface area (m 2 /g)).

Claims (20)

1. A carbonaceous material having:

a BET specific surface area calculated from a nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a BET method, of 750 m 2 /g or more and 1000 m 2 /g or less,

a ratio of a pore volume of pores of 0.3875 to 0.9125 nm calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by a HK method to a total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 80% or more, and

an average pore diameter obtained by the following formula using the BET specific surface area and the total pore volume calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm by the HK method, of 1.614 nm or less:

D= 4000 ×V/S

wherein D represents the average pore diameter expressed in nm, V represents the total pore volume expressed in mL/g, and S represents the specific surface area expressed in m 2 /g.

2. The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonaceous material has a benzene adsorption amount of 20% by weight or more and 28% by weight or less.

3. The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein the total pore volume calculated by the HK method is 0.400 mL/g or less.

4. The carbonaceous material according to claim 1 , wherein the pore volume of pores of 0.3875 to 0.9125 nm calculated by the HK method is 0.250 mL/g or more and 0.350 mL/g or less.

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 coconut.

7. 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.

8. A water purifier, comprising

the carbonaceous material according to claim 1 .

9. A water purifier, comprising

the water purification filter according to claim 7 .
