TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the presentation, nomenclature, and methodology associated with the application of physisorption for surface area assessment and pore size analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the increasing importance of carbon materials in catalytic processes is analyzed in terms of the most important characteristics of these materials when acting as catalysts or catalyst supports, such as surface area, porosity, chemical inertness and oxygen surface groups.

TL;DR: In this article, four series of activated carbons prepared from lignocellulosic materials (almond shells and olive and peach stones) by either physical activation (uncatalysed and iron catalysed) in CO2 or in a water-nitrogen mixture, or direct chemical activation with ZnCl2 of the precursor were selected to show the comparative behavior of the activation procedures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity of granular activated carbon has been investigated using phosphoric acid, zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide as activating agents, and the impregnation ratios of ZnCl 2 and H 3 PO 4 leading to high volume of micropores of homogeneous width have been selected to prepare binderless carbon monolithic discs able to adsorb large amounts of methane at 3.4MPa.

TL;DR: In this article, four series of activated carbon have been prepared from carbonized olive stones, one of them using carbon dioxide as activating agent and the other three, series AV, W, and H, with water vapor under different experimental conditions.
