✦ Synopsis
A set of samples, including active carbon and ASC-whetlerites, both in their original form and after extraction, all with an identical carbonaceous skeleton, was investigated to specify the porous structure and the deposition of the impregnant. Mercury porosimetry and adsorption of nitrogen and carbon dioxide were used for this purpose. The thickness of the deposited layer increases with pore radius. In macropores of r -1000 nm with the largest relative frequency, the thickness of the impregnant is about 120nm. The deposit may somewhat remove unevenness in the pore walls, but, on the other hand, it creates a secondary pore structure in macropores, where the thickness of the deposit is high enough. Also a partial clogging of small pores takes place.

Chars, prepared by pyrolysis of prune pits at I or lS"C/min to 500, 700 or 9OO"C, were subsequently gasified by CO, at 900°C. Pyrolysis conditions did not significantly affect the porosity developed for a given mass loss due specifically to gasification reactions, i.e. excluding additional pyrolytic
## Abstract In this article, activated carbon aerogels (ACAs) were prepared by CO~2~ activation. Their pore structures were investigated by N~2~ adsorption–desorption analysis. ACAs have excellent microporosity (e.g. 0.36 cm^3^/g) and mesoporosity (e.g. 1.72 cm^3^/g). Adsorption characteristics of
The porous structure of a series of commercial activated carbon fibers (ACFs) (with increasing surface area) was studied using both direct and indirect methods. The porous structure was characterized directly using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques and indirectly using the Dubinin-Radus
