On the Adsorption of CO₂ by Active Carbons

The combination of adsorption and calorimetric techniques shows that the adsorption of CO2 is a two-step process in the case of active carbons with large micropores (L > 1.2–1.5 nm). For smaller pores, on the other hand, one observes a uniform filling of the volume. These mechanisms are in agreement with earlier experiments carried out with CH2Cl2 at 293 K
