It is suggested that the nonhomogenity of the microporous structures of carbonaceous adsorbents should be expressed through the normal distribution of the micropore volume by sizes (halfwidth for the slitlike model). On the basis of the theory of the volume filling of micropores in vapor adsorption,

โฆ Synopsis
It
is shown that an exact expression can be derived from Dubinin's theory, for the enthalpy of immersion of active carbons. It appears that for a given liquid, the specific enthalpy of immersion is a function of the characteristic energy REo of the Dubinin-Astakhov equation. The new relation is illustrated by data obtained for 10 different carbons immersed into benzene and n-heptane at 34ยฐC. Simultaneously. results are presented for the immersion into water, not described by Dubinin's theory, but providing useful complementary information about the chemical state of the surface.
