| Zhao et al.43 | Ramirez et al.44 | This study | |
|---|---|---|---|
| adsorbate | n-hexane | n-hexane | n-hexane |
| adsorbent | Activated carbon | Activated carbon | Activated carbon |
| BET surface area, A (m2/g) | 923 | 965 | 919 |
| Vtotal (cm3/g) | 0.46 | 0.615 | 0.46 |
| pore diameter, D (nm) | 2.55 | 1.43 | |
| temperature, T (K) | 295 | 293 and 303 | 298 |
Standard uncertainties are u(T) = 0.1 K, u(P) = 0.026 kPa, U(A) = 4 m2/g, U(Vtotal) = 0.0033 cm3/g, and U(D) = 0.0036 nm for this study.
