Application of the LBET class adsorption models to analyze influence of production process conditions on the obtained microporous structure of activated carbons

The paper presents the results of the research on the application of the LBET class adsorption models with the fast multivariant identification procedure as a tool for analysing the microporous structure of the active carbons obtained from biomass by physical activation using steam and carbon dioxide as an activator. The proposed procedure of the fast multivariant fitting of the LBET class models to the empirical adsorption data was employed particularly to evaluate the impact of the final temperature of the physical activation on the obtained microporous structure of the carbonaceous adsorbents.
