K. Nakai et al., THE ANALYSIS OF SURFACE AND PORES OF ACTIVATED CARBONS BY THE ADSORPTION OF VARIOUS GASES, Pure and applied chemistry, 65(10), 1993, pp. 2181-2187
The analysis of surface and pores of activated carbons oxidized to var
ious degrees has been carried out on the basis of adsorption isotherms
of nitrogen, water and several organic compounds. The reason for the
large hysteresis of isotherms of water was ascribed to the structure f
ormation of water in the micropores caused by the hydrophobic interact
ion at water-carbon inferface.
