Relationship between structure and reactivity of carbonaceous materials

Knowledge of the amount and distribution of active sites in carbons is of paramount importance for a better understanding of the kinetics involved in heterogeneous gas solid reactions. In this work a commercial active carbon, CM, was treated at several temperatures in order to obtain a series of samples with different textural and structural properties. The results showed that the loss of reactivity of the samples, determined by thermogravimetric analysis, is related not only to the lower surface area but also to the decrease in the amount of active sites due to a higher structural ordering.
