Activated carbons have been prepared from a semianthracite preoxidised in air to different degrees. The activation has been carried out in steam at 850Β°C to 5Ok 1% burnoff. The adsorption isotherms of nitrogen at 77 K and COZ at 273 K have been determined. The adsorption isotherms indicate that the

The evolution of the porosity in two series of samples prepared by the reaction of two activated carbons (from almond shells and olive stones) with air at 350Β°C has been followed by adsorption of CO2 (273 and 298 K) and n-butane (273 K). The results have been compared with the adsorption of N, at 77
A technique developed by Studebaker and Snow was used to determine the contact angle of water (cos e,,) on porous carbons which were electrochemically treated in phosphoric acid. Electrochemical oxidation resulted in a decrease in cos t& whereas, electrochemical reduction resulted in an increase in
Adsorption methods for characterizing the microporosity of activated carbons are discussed critically. Three methods-the a,-method and those based on the Dubinin-Radushkevich and Jaroniec-Choma isotherm equations-are compared with respect to the parameters that characterize the microporous structure
