To date, it has been frequently carried out in different reactors. In this work, thermogravimetric analysis was used instead. The performance of activated pyrolysis chars was tested by adsorption of acetone vapour and comparison of the equilibrium adsorption capacities for all samples. The highest equilibrium adsorption capacity was observed for the carbon burn-off of  60%. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of activated TPC decreases by about 10% after eleven adsorption/desorption cycles. Moreover, activation changed the porous structure of pyrolysis chars from mesoporous to micro-mesoporous.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Acetone adsorption on CO2-activated tyre pyrolysis char – Thermogravimetric analysis}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/107187/PDF/8_Kotkowski_CPE-39(2)-2018.pdf}, keywords={physical activation, char, end-of-life tyres, pyrolysis, TGA}, }
