Abstract
Abstract A process for fabricating an activated carbon supporting honeycomb structure is disclosed which comprises the following steps: dipping an inorganic fiber made paper in a suspension of fine particulate activated carbon and a binder or coating the suspension over the inorganic fiber made paper; drying the paper so that the activated carbon will fill the voids between the fibers in the paper; superposing sheets of the activated carbon filled paper alternately with corrugated sheets of the same paper; and bonding the individual sheets together with an adhesive to form a honeycomb structure.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A honeycomb structure according to claim 1 wherein said inorganic fiber made paper has a thickness of 0.1-1.0 mm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for fabricating an activated carbon supporting honeycomb structure comprising the following steps: dipping an inorganic fiber made paper having a high void factor in a suspension of fine particulate activated carbon and a binder; drying the paper so that the activated carbon will fill the voids between fibers in the paper; superposing sheets of the activated carbon filled paper alternately with corrugated sheets of the same paper; and bonding the individual sheets together with an adhesive to form a honeycomb structure.
