The numerical analysis of the spherical carbon adsorbents obtained from ion-exchange resins in one-step steam pyrolysis

► The numerical analysis of spherical carbon adsorbents produced by the single-step steam pyrolysis have been presented. ► The porous structure was easily controlled by varying such factors as the carbonization temperature, atmosphere or the heating rate. ► The computer calculations using the LBET class models with the fast multivariant identification procedure were carried out. ► The research results will provide interesting information for the specialists engaged in porous structure description.
