It is shown that the values of the structural constant B and of the micropore volume Wo can change considerably for certain active carbons, when the adsorption of simple gases is measured over a large range of temperature. The changes are probably related to ultramicroporosity, present in heterogeneous carbons, and to activated diffusion into typical micropores, through... More
Add to personal list- Summary
- It is shown that the values of the structural constant B and of the micropore volume Wo can change considerably for certain active carbons, when the adsorption of simple gases is measured over a large range of temperature. The changes are probably related to ultramicroporosity, present in heterogeneous carbons, and to activated diffusion into typical micropores, through constrictions. It is suggested that the quantity B is not necessarily a constant for a given solid, as assumed previously.
