Studies on Manufacture of Electric Carbons VI

Decomposition of conc. H2O2 solution by carbons was studied. Amount of decomposed substances were larger when minute: crystallite carbon article are thrown in the solution. Also more vigorous decomposition was observed when lower carbonization carbon used. Highly electrographitized carbon was almost indifferent to decomposition.The decomposition probably occur by uneven surfaces of carbon crystals caused by remaining organic radicals by imperfect carbonization and irregular zones of contact portions of minute carbon crystallites.
