โฆ Synopsis
Argon adsorption isotherms measured at 77.5 K on various microporous activated carbons were analysed to characterize the structural heterogeneities of these sorbents. It was found that the adsorption isotherms could be described by an isotherm equation associated with the gamma micropore-size distribution. Parameters of this distribution function characterized the structural heterogeneity of the microporous activated carbon studied. Comparison of these parameters for various activated carbons showed the dependence of the microporosity of these carbons on the kind of raw material used and on the preparation conditions.

The adsorption potential of argon in active carbon has been calculated under the assumption of a limited-size slit-shaped micropore enclosed between two walls formed by the basic atomic planes of graphite. As the slit width becomes smaiier than a certain critical value an energy barrier arises at th
new equation for gas adsorption on microporous solids is proposed on the basis of the exponential adsorption isotherm. which is generated by the virial expansion of the spreading pressure. Expressions associated with this equation are derived also for the adsorption potential distribution. the diffe
