The thermal stability is not tested internally, but in inert atmospheres, NORIT® RX3 EXTRA AC can withstand higher temperatures without significant degradation. It can typically maintain its structural integrity up to around 800°C, depending on specific conditions. In reducing environments, the thermal stability may be affected by the presence of reducing agents. While activated carbon can remain stable, prolonged exposure to high temperatures in a reducing atmosphere may lead to a gradual loss of surface area and adsorption capacity. In oxidizing conditions, activated carbon is more susceptible to oxidation. The thermal stability decreases significantly, especially at elevated temperatures. At temperatures above 300°C, the carbon structure can begin to oxidize, leading to a loss of mass and changes in surface properties.

Application
- Activated carbons are internally porous microcrystalline, non-graphitic forms of carbon. The activated carbons possess large surface area (~1000 m2/g) and pore volumes which make them useful for applications in energy storage devices, catalysis, and for removal of impurities from gases and liquids.[1][2]
- NORIT® RX 3 EXTRA is an acid washed, steam activated carbon that exhibits high pore volume. Its excellent purity along with good abrasion resistance makes it suitable as a catalyst or catalyst carrier for gas phase applications requiring high purity activated carbon.
