Is there diference using animal carbon or active carbon?

Yes, the "animal carbon" has a smaller surface, so it's not so active as the carbons what are made from plants.
Here is a small chart from active carbon types and the amount of (cm3) of ammonia adsorbed by 1g of carbon at 1atm 15 Celius.
Beech 58cm3
Boxwood 86cm3
Ebony 107cm3
Ash tree 111cm3
Coconut shell 176m3
I have a blog where I post my pictures from my work: http://labphoto.tumblr.com/

None-the-less, hollow carbon fibers derived from Chicken Feathers or other bird feathers, might be a good candidate for catalyst preparation. The
Carbon structures resemble those of Carbon nanotubes, BUT feather Carbon can be prepared inexpensively.
According to some sources, the carbonized feathers have a tremendous ability to adsorb Hydrogen, even at fairly normal pressures....In the ballpark,
with hydrogen density capability found in metal-hydrides, and Platinum group metals. As such, Chicken feather Carbon tubules are being touted as a
potentially useful material for motor vehicle hydrogen storage.
Nanotubes themselves, because of their cozy relationship with Hydrogen, appear to possess Catalytic properties. When impregnated with metal, the game
is on.
