Properties of novel spherical carbon adsorbents synthesized from phosphorylated polymeric precursors

Phosphorus-containing carbon adsorbents have been prepared by the carbonization and CO2 activation of two sets of submicroporous phosphorylated styrene/divinylbenzene copolymers in various (H+, Cs+, Cu2+, Co2+ and Fe3+) ionic forms. These copolymers have been synthesized in the form of beads, using the suspension polymerization technique. The polymerization was carried out in the presence of heptane and toluene in order to obtain porous material...
