Conclusions
-
1.
The use of the existing methods of calculation of the specific mesopore surface area was analyzed on the example of carbon adsorbents with a different pore structure.
-
2.
The calculations with the γ method based on the improved theory of Broekhoff and de Boer with consideration of the effect of the curvature of the liquid meniscus on the surface tension and mercury porosimetry give the closest values of the mesopore surface area for all of the adsorbents studied.
