Abstract
Methods of forming solid carbon products include disposing nanostructure carbon in a container, disposing the container in a press, compressing the nanostructured carbon within the container, and fastening a lid to the container to form a filter. Further processing may include sintering the nanostructured carbon within the container and heating the nanostructured carbon within the container in an inert environment to form bonds between adjacent particles of nanostructured carbon. Other methods may include forming a plurality of compressed nanostructured carbon modules, placing the plurality of compressed nanostructured carbon modules within a container, and placing a lid on the container to form a filter structure. Related structures are also disclosed.
