Abstract:
1. An apparatus for producing activated carbon by carbonization and subsequent activation of polymeric organic sulphonated starting materials, the apparatus comprising: optionally a drying means for drying the starting materials, optionally a sulphonating means for sulphonating and/or peptizing the optionally previously dried starting materials downstream of the optional drying means, a carbonizing means for carbonizing the optionally previously dried and/or sulphonated and/or peptized starting materials downstream of the optional drying means and/or the optional sulphonating means, wherein the temperature of the carbonizing means is adjustable in operation such that at least two temperature zones having the temperature of the individual temperature stages each rising in the downstream direction are present or else a temperature gradient having a rising temperature profile in the downstream direction is present, downstream of the carbonizing means, an activating means for activating the starting materials previously carbonized in the carbonizing means;
