Résumé
Chars obtained by carbonizing coconut shells at different intermediate heat treatment temperatures (IHTT) between 400 and 800 °C were activated at 800 °C in a stream of N<sub>2</sub>+H<sub>2</sub>O, following two distinct procedures. In the first procedure, activation follows directly the carbonization, whereas in the second procedure, the sample was first brought back to 25 °C and subsequently heated again to the activation temperature of 800 °C. The data for CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption at 25 °C and N<sub>2</sub> at −196 °C with immersion calorimetry confirms that the activated carbons derived from chars obtained at low IHTT and in two steps, present a “gate effect” for burn-offs <20% or 25%, otherwise, the final carbons present similar structural characteristics for higher burn-offs. It also appears that the evolution of the average pore width <i>L</i><sub>0</sub> with the micropore volume <i>W</i><sub>0</sub> follows a general pattern outlined early.
