✦ Synopsis
Diazomethane has been used to methylate the "active" hydrogen associated with acidic oxides on carbon and graphite surfaces. Analysis of the methoxyl groups so formed showed that the active hydrogen was present as an OH group and that the total active hydrogen content of both carbon and graphite degassed at temperatures up to 8OfPC was very close to the uptake of 0.05 N sodium hydroxide. Studies on the carbon black Spheron 6 showed that the acidic oxide decomposing at about 250°C was not methylated by diazomethane but the group decomposing around 600°C was rapidly methvlated. In addition a group decomposing at 4O&SOO"C was round to be siowlyTmethylated by diazomeihane.

Surface oxygen complexes on Spheron 6, which thermally desorb as CQ, appear to be responsible for the acidity of the carbon. The base uptake of samples degassed at various temperatures has been related to the amounts of oxygen complex remaining on the surface. Two types of acidic oxides, both of whi
fraction of the surface of some graphitized carbons are energetically heterogeneous. That part of the surface which is heterogeneous has sites for which N, shows a higher isosteric heat of adsorption at 78°K than the uniform portion constituting the major fraction of surface and for which the heat o
The effect of oxidation on the pore structure of two different graphitized carbons has been investigated. Graphon and P33 were subjected to oxidation to achieve various extents of bum-off and the pore structure of each sample was subsequently examined using the techniques of low temperature adsorpti
