Fundamentals of the theory of adsorption in micropores of carbon adsorbents: Characteristics of their adsorption properties and microporous structures

Abstract

The theory underlying the adsorption behavior of carbon adsorbents is discussed as a basis for quantitative analysis of their adsorption properties and microporous structure. The equations of the theory of volume filling of micropores for homogeneous and nonhomogeneous microporous structures are considered. Three principal parameters are proposed which describe the physical vapor adsorption and characterize the microporous structure. © 1989, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
