Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A PROCESS FOR MAKING A FORMED CARBON ARTICLE FROM COMMINUTED PARTICLES OF CARBONACEOUS RAW MATERIAL INCLUDING A FIRST CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL WHICH IS FUSIBLE AND WHICH DECOMPOSES TO FORM AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF FIXED CARBON AND CONTAINS APPRECIABLE VOLATILE COMBUSTIBLE MATTER AND A SECOND CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL HAVING A LOW VOLATILE MATTER CONTENT, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PLACING THE COMMINUTED PARTICLES OF CARBONACEOUS RAW MATERIAL IN A MOLD, SUBJECTING THE MATERIAL WITHIN THE MOLD TO A HIGH MECHANICAL PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN ABOUT 1000 P.S.I. TO COMPRESS THE SAME, AND RAPIDLY HEATING THE MATERIAL IN THE MOLD WHILE MAINTAINING SAID PRESSURE THEREON BY PASSING AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT THROUGH SAID COMPRESSED MATERIAL SO THAT THE HEAT IS GENERATED WITHIN THE RAW MATERIAL ITSELF, SAID HEATING STEP AND SAID PRESSURE MAINTENANCE BEING CONTINUED UNTIL SAID FUSIBLE CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL IS CARBONIZED.
