Patent ID: 8795410

Claim:
A monolith adsorbent comprising: a monolith structure body having continuous and interconnected through-holes in the form of a three-dimensional network; and a particulate adsorbing material contained in the monolith structure body such that the particulate adsorbing material is at least partially exposed on a surface of and at least partially embedded in the monolith structure body in a random manner, and the particulate adsorbing material is fixed to the monolith structure body by the monolith structure body itself, and additionally comprising a chemical substance applied or chemically bonded to the monolith structure body, wherein the adsorbing material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of activated carbon, graphite carbon, carbon nanotube, fullerene, molecular sieve, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, divinylbenzene copolymers, molecular sieve carbon, activated alumina and magnesium silicate.
