an apparatus for coating surfaces consists of a basin , open to the atmosphere , divided into two channels by a wall running perpendicular to the coating direction . liquid is supplied to the primary channel , the channel farther from the curtain . a continuous , adjustable gap between the dividing wall and the bottom of the basin offers resistance to flow but passes the coating composition from the primary to the secondary channel . the secondary channel has an edge that is horizontal and relatively low so that the coating composition overflows it to form a free - falling curtain . the dividing wall , by providing flow resistance , assists in distributing the supplied coating composition along the length of the primary channel , and reduces any flow disturbances caused by the entering coating composition . the secondary channel promotes additional evening of the flow distribution before the curtain forms .

this invention is based upon the discovery that activated carbon can be used to sequester polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that may be present in asphalt and creosote compositions . the treatment of asphalt and creosote compositions with activated carbon accordingly reduces the level of free polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in such compositions by sequestering them therein or removing them from the composition . after being sequestered the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remain trapped in the asphalt or creosote composition , and are not available to the environment during normal processing into useful industrial products . this sequestration reduces the risk of exposing humans and the environment to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which would otherwise be free to migrate from the asphalt or creosote product during manufacturing and the service life of the product . in other words , the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are absorbed onto the activated carbon and are not available for bioaccumulation from the environment .
