Manufacture of Carbon Foam in Continuous Process at Atmospheric Pressure
- CFOAM LLC
CFOAM LLC has been manufacturing CFOAM® vitreous carbon foam from coal in panel form for several years. The process is currently set up in batch mode as two steps, where the first step is conducted at very high pressure. In order to reduce cost and increase capacity, a new process for making carbon foam is being developed that can be performed at atmospheric pressure. This advance in turn would enable the development of a continuous manufacturing process, which is also being pursued. Both carbon foam panels and light weight aggregates are being investigate. Progress on the evolution of the pilot scale manufacturing plant and initial results of processing, microstructure, properties and performance of carbon foam products made using this new process will be discussed. This project is being supported by a cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy – National Energy Technology Laboratory (DE-FOA-0002185, Area of Interest 4: Coal-Derived Carbon Foam Produced via a Continuous Process, award number DE-FE-0031992).
