Determination of the Micropore Texture of Some Glassy Carbons Using Molecular Probes
The micropore systems of three glassy carbons prepared using different recipes in the polymerization and carbonization of furfuryl alcohol have been studied by adsorption kinetic measurements and the adsorption-desorption isotherms of five adsorptives, with different molecular geometries, sizes, and polarity. The analysis of the adsorption isotherms has been carried out by comparing the results obtained when Dubinin-Radushkevich, the binomial Dubinin equation, and Dubinin Ashtakhov approximations are applied.
