We used carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as modifying particles and potassium hydroxide as a porogen to prepare mesoporous pitch-derived activated carbon discs (ACD) with high surface areas. The parameters investigated in this study included the concentration of CNTs (1%, 2%, 3.5% and 5%), the dispersion of the CNTs in the pitch using a 750Â W sonic probe, the oxidation of the CNTs with H2O2, and the aspect ratio of the CNTs. The highest surface area ACD was obtained with 2% oxidized CNTs dispersed in the pitch with the ultrasonic probe (ACD-2%-SO, SBETÂ =Â 2089Â m2Â gâ1). The ACDs prepared with the sonic probe and with 2 wt% or more of raw and oxidized CNTs exhibited larger mesopore volumes than those ACDs prepared with 1 wt% CNTs. A series of quench tests performed during the foaming process by withdrawal of the carbon from the tube furnace at 673Â K, 773Â K and 873Â K revealed that mesopores in ACD develop at temperatures ranging from 773Â K to 873Â K, whereas micropores formed between 873Â K and 1073Â K. The adsorption capacities of N2 and CO2 on ACD-2%-SO were measured with a gravimetric apparatus at 298Â K and 303Â KÂ at pressures up to 4000Â kPa. The uptake of CO2 on ACD-2%-SO at a temperature of 298Â K was 3.33Â mol/kg at 100Â kPa and 11.51Â mol/kg at 3496Â kPa.
