Use of carbon fibre sorbents for the recovery of acetone from an acetone-air mixture

Porous Structure of Activated Carbon Fibers

“…In the given case, the experimental data are satisfactorily approximated by the two-term equation (1) in the range from p/p 0 = 1 0 10 !4 [at lower pressures, the linear dependence ln a = f [ln ( p/p 0 )] 2 is not observed] to 0.04 30.05, which corresponded to the first basic microporous structure. To the second microporous structure corresponded a short linear portion that extended to p/p 0 = 0.153 0.2.…”

“…The small geometric dimensions of elementary fibers lead to a substantial increase in the rate of internal mass transfer. Both the last parameter and the intensity of mass transfer in the course of adsorption depend on the size of micropores [1,2]. At the same time, an objective analysis of the micropore volume distribution by pore size (MVDPS) is required in various areas of chemical technology, because this function determines the applicability fields and choice of an optimal adsorbent.…”
