Abstract
Seventeen kinds of activated carbons of different surface acidity and of known pore-structure were used as adsorbents for gas chromatography. The retention time of various kinds of substrates was determined for each carbon at different temperatures. It was found that surface acidity of carbons has a marked effect on increasing the retention time for polar substances while showing no effect for non-polar substances. Retention times varied with temperature which suggested, when the effect of surface acidity is taken into account, that the pores which were effective for the Chromatographic adsorption have been determined by the temperature. The heat of adsorption calculated on the basis of the retention times observed at different temperatures showed an inverse correlation with dielectric constant of the adsorbates.
