Computer analysis of the microporous structure of activated carbons prepared from plant materials by
chemical activation

The work presents results of the analysis of the microporous
structure of activated carbons obtained from plant materials
by chemical activation with potassium hydroxide. The aim
of the research was to evaluate the impact of the hydroxide
to biomass mass ratio on the microporous structure of the
obtained activated carbons. The calculations were carried
out using the BET and DR methods, as well as the new LBET
method with the unique fast multivariant identification
adsorption systems procedure. The obtained results of
the research highlighted the significant potential of the
production of activated carbons with very high adsorption
capacity and large specific surface area from plant materials,
by chemical activation with potassium hydroxide. Moreover
the presented research yielded a broad spectrum of
information and shed a new light on the issues pertaining
to the assessment of the effect of carbonaceous adsorbent
production technology on the obtained parameters of the
porous structure.
