Adsorption of toluene vapours on micro–meso hierarchical porous carbon

This work reports the synthesis of micro-meso hierarchical porous carbons prepared with sucrose as a carbon source. With properties characterised, dynamic adsorption performances of toluene on carbons were investigated at various initial concentrations. Results showed that adsorption capacities as high as 687.60 mg/g toluene/1 cm modified carbon can be achieved. Thus, large surface area, large vol...
