201, Distillation: Processes, Thermolytic, appropriate subclasses, for a process of making coke.
502, Catalyst, Solid Sorbent, or Support Therefor: Product or Process of Making,
174+, for compositions of and methods of making inorganic carbon containing catalyst or precursor therefor, subclasses 416+ for compositions of and methods of making solid sorbent compositions including elemental carbon.
516, Colloid Systems and Wetting Agents; Subcombinations Thereof; Processes of Making, Stabilizing, Breaking, or Inhibiting, 32, for colloid systems of colloid-sized solid or semisolid material which is primarily Carbon (such as graphite or diamond) dispersed in primarily organic continuous liquid phase, subclasses 38+ for colloid systems of colloid-sized bituminous, coal, or Carbon phase dispersed in aqueous continuous liquid phase, cross-reference art collection 901 for collection of art under the Class definition related to colloid systems of substantially pure elemental Carbon (such as graphite, diamond, Carbon black, lamp black, Fullerenes); or agents for such systems or making or stabilizing such systems or agents; in each instance, when generically claimed or when there is no hierarchically superior provision in the USPC for the specifically claimed art.
