Abstract

A regularity govering variations of volume and linear size of micropores in carbon adsorbents during their vapor-gas activation was found. A parameter was proposed that characterizes the degree of development of the micropore system in activating carbons and an initial carbonized material. The parameter is defined as the number (or surface area) of micropores in the volume unit of the micropore zones. This parameter allows one to rationalize the choice of carbonized materials for the preparation of activated carbons with specified adsorption properties and to establish the range of activation beyond which the structure of the micropores loses stability. Furthermore, the parameter serves to predict how activation affects micropore structure parameters and adsorption properties of carbons. This in turn indicates the optimal degrees of microporosity of carbons needed to attain required adsorption properties.
