摘要
Activated carbons obtained from the pyrolysis (600-800 degrees C) of used tires have been synthesized and studied for n-butane adsorption. To obtain optimal butane working capacity (BWC), higher burn-off was found necessary. It was also found that higher pyrolysis temperatures (similar to 800 degrees C) allow mesoporosity to develop more readily and furthermore this porosity leads to higher BWC.
