Abstract
The work highlights a source of unusual high reactivity of shungite carbon (ShC) as a catalyst in modeling coal-treatment reactions, a filler for polymeric matrices, an adsorbent and filter for a water-purification process, and a reagent in melting of siliceous iron and in the production of silica carbide. The structural pattern of ShC was shown to be connected with fullerenelike structures which could be released under different conditions, providing its activation and determining reactivity of ShC containing materials. Fullerenes are likely to be present in ShC as chemical derivatives and strong molecular complexes. It was proposed to liberate fullerenes and fullerene-like structures while processing the ShC. Artificial fullerenes display an effect similar to that of ShC in modeling the reaction of coal treatment. Fullerene-like structures, both synthetic and those liberated from natural carbon, are capable of acting as a hydrogenated catalyst at low temperatures. Owing to the rising mobility of fullerene-like nanopartides liberated from the ShC matrix at high shear stresses, ShC improves the processing of polymers, making the distribution of ingredients more uniform. Lowering heat accumulation in shungite-filled systems and their structural uniformity resulted in the higher dynamic properties of composites. New composite materials with advanced properties could be produced.
