Patent ID: 7538069

Claim:
A spherical active carbon having a pore size distribution (% v/v of a total pore volume in the pore diameter range), measured according to Example 2, as follows: a) 1.2-1.7 nm: 20-50%, b) 1.7-2.1 nm: 20-50%, c) 2.1-2.5 nm: 10-25%, d) 2.5-2.9 nm: 3-15%, e) 2.9-3.3 nm: 1-10%, wherein the sum of a) to e) is at least 88%, wherein the difference of the sum of a) to e) to 100% defines a share of pores having a diameter <1.2 nm and/or >3.3 nm, and wherein the fractal dimension of the open porosity, as measured according to Example 3, is at least 2.30.
