Use of coal to manufacture carbon integral honeycomb monoliths with environmental applications [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Coal is an abundant and relatively low cost natural resource that can be valorized through its use in environmental applications. For this purpose however, unlike clays, it is mainly employed as powders, granules or tablets, the honeycomb monolithic design being almost completely discarded. This is so in spite of the fact that honeycomb monoliths offer many advantages respect to conventional packed beds such as lower pressure drops, especially when treating high flows, and easier handling. The main reason for this limitation is that coal, contrarily to ceramics, is classically considered a non- appropriate material for extrusion. In this chapter we explain how manufacture of integral coal honeycombs is not only possible but can be easily achieved following simple procedures developed for ceramics. Moreover, we show the way to modulate their textural, and consequently adsorptive, properties as function of the further activation treatment applied. In addition, some attractive applications of carbon honeycomb monoliths obtained from coal in pollution control technologies are reviewed. In particular, we discuss some results in the dynamic adsorption of pollutants both in gas and liquid phase. We also illustrate the potential use of carbon monoliths as catalytic support as well as active phase in very different catalytic reactions with interest in environmental protection such as selective reduction of nitrogen oxides or hydrogen production from methane decomposition. © 2014 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
