Abstract

This paper describes the algorithm of numerical evaluation of the parameters of the pore structure of adsorbents ( the micro, mezo and macropores). The structure of individual types of pores is described with the equation proposed by one of the present authors and giving the total distribution function of the pores with respect to their radii. The reliability of the suggested algorithm was verified in a number of calculations using a specially developed program. The results of the analysis and characterization of three different specimens of active carbon are shown as an example.
