β¦ Synopsis
Adsorption of iodine by carbon blacks from aqueous, chloroform and benzene solutions was studied and conditions for estimating surface areas of carbon blacks were standardized. It was found that the adsorption of iodine by carbon black from 0.3 N aqueous solution of iodine in potassium iodide (14 moles per mole of iodine) after 75 hr of contact as well as that from 0.3 N solution of iodine in chloroform or benzene after 15 or 20 days of contact yieids uhimate value which is not exceeded on raising the concentration or prolonging the time of contact and can serve as index of surface area, irrespective of the nature of the carbon black. Adsorption was found to be mostly physical in nature.

The adsorption of tetrapentylammonium bromide, TPAB, was measured from aqueous solution on a series of non-graphitized and graphitized carbon blacks. The surface areas and porosities of the carbons were determined from nitrogen adsorption isotherms using the BET equation, and the t-plot and V-n plot
Ethylene glycol retention method, standardised by Dyal and Hendricks for clays and soils, has been used for determining specific surface areas of a large variety of adsorbent carbons differing widely in the extent as well as chemical nature of their surfaces. The proposed method yields values compar
A good correlation was found between apparent BET surface area and total pore volume determined for a number of active charcoals by measurement of the nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K. A similar correlation is also illustrated in which apparent BET surface area is calculated from the uptake of
