Abstract

The adsorption of chlorobenzene vapor on an experimental D4609 (Purolite Int.) adsorbent prepared by the pyrolysis of hypercrosslinked polystyrene was studied. The adsorbent was characterized by a large specific surface area, a narrow pore size distribution with the predominant fraction of pore diameters 0.9–3.4 nm, and a high absorption ability with respect to chlorobenzene. The adsorption isotherms were measured over the temperature range 100–140°C, and the thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption were determined. In spite of the correspondence to the formal requirements of the theory of volume filling of micropores, the mechanism of adsorption in narrow micropores (<1.2—1.5 nm) was different from filling with a condensed phase.
