Abstract

The present invention provides use of a porous carbon material in a metal air battery, wherein the porous carbon material (a) has a specific surface area (BET) of 100-600 m2/g, and (b)has a micropore area of 10-90 m2/g. The present inventors have found that this porous carbon material exhibits advantageous properties such as corrosion resistance.

Abstract

A system and method for coating glass gobs with a liquid-based lubricating dispersion during their drop to blank glass container molds which provides sufficient lubrication to the glass container molds without requiring swabbing of the glass container molds. The lubricating dispersion is sprayed onto hot glass gobs as they fall from the gob supply system prior to their distribution by the gob distribution system into blank molds. The lubricating dispersion coats the falling glass gobs to lubricate the glass gobs as well as the molds.
