    Activated carbons are disorganized materials with variable pore size distributions (PSD). If one assumes that the porosity consists mainly of locally slit-shaped micropores, model isotherms can be obtained by computer simulations and used to assess the PSD on the basis of experimental isotherms. In the present study, CO2 isotherms have been measured at 273 K on seven well-characterized microporous carbons with average micropore widths between 0.65 and 1.5 nm and analysed with model isotherms obtained with standard Monte Carlo simulations. The resulting PSD are in good agreement with those obtained from a modified Dubinin equation, from liquid probes of molecular dimensions between 0.4 and 1.5 nm, from STM and from modelling based on CH4 adsorption at 308 K. The present study validates the determination of micropore distributions in active carbons based on CO2 isotherms, provided that no gate effects are present.

    Reference isotherm for high pressure adsorption of CO2 by carbons at 273 K
    (2001)
    Guillot, André
    ;
    It is suggested that the adsorption of CO2 on Vulcan 3G at 273 K and up to 3.2 MPa can be used as a reference isotherm for the characterization of porous and non-porous carbons. The results obtained with the proposed reference are in good agreement with those of the nitrogen (77 K) and benzene (293 K) comparison plots. The external surface areas have also been compared with those obtained from immersion calorimetry into C6H6 at 293 K. It also appears that at low relative pressures CO2 adsorbed on Vulcan 3G follows the Dubinin–Radushkevich–Kaganer equation between 253 and 273 K.
