Abstract: Carbon foam products are currently manufactured on a commercial scale utilizing a high-pressure autoclave in batch mode. In an effort to increase manufacturing speed and reduce cost, carbon foam panels were produced at atmospheric pressure, both at bench scale and pilot/production scale in a continuous belt kiln. The microstructure of these samples, as well as the mechanical and fire resistance properties, were evaluated. This work was 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).
