Abstract

The adsorption of methane on an activated carbon of high surface was measured in the range of 233−333 K and 0−10 MPa. The isotherms showed a considerably different feature than that measured on low surface carbon. A maximum appeared on isotherms at relatively low temperatures. All the experimental isotherms were well modeled by the Langmuir−Freundlich equation. The difference between the measured and the so-called absolute adsorption was properly accounted for in modeling. An assumption of monolayer adsorbate adsorbed was included in the model. The layer volume evaluated was consistent with the pore volume of adsorbent reported by CO2 adsorption. The intermolecular distance in the adsorbed phase was evaluated from a model parameter. This intermolecular distance was compared with that in the free sate, which revealed a basic picture of the physical state of the adsorbed phase at above-critical temperatures.
