Abstract
An opportunity to use Zh, D, and KS coal of the Kuznetsk Basin referred to bituminous coals as raw materials to produce activated carbon was investigated. Formulas of coal/pitch systems were developed using coal-tar pitch as a binder. The optimum coal tar content (5 mass %) in the system was determined. New activated carbons based on coal/pitch systems were produced; parameters of their microporous structure, adsorptive properties, and strength performance were examined.
