Application of the LBET class adsorption models to the analysis of microporous structure of the active carbons produced from biomass by chemical activation with the use of potassium carbonate

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the research on the application of the LBET class adsorption models with the fast multivariant identification technique as a tool for analysing the microporous structure of the active carbons obtained from waste biomass by chemical activation using potassium carbonate as an activator. The proposed technique of fast multivariant fitting of the LBET class models to the empirical adsorption data was employed particularly to evaluate the impact of the final temperature of the chemical activation on the obtained microporous structure of the carbonaceous adsorbents.
