Abstract
The gas-chromatographic method is used to study the interaction of water and methanol molecules with active hydrophilic centres existing at the surface of thermally exfoliated graphite and graphitized thermal carbon black. The concentration of carboxyl and phenol hydroxyl groups at the surface of these sorbents is determined, and heats of adsorption of the studied molecules are shown to be \(\bar Q_a= 40-39\) and 28−25 kJ/mol, respectively. It is also shown that adsorption of water at the hydrophilic centres at lowest relative pressure values takes place with formation of clusters consisting of n = 2 water molecules.
