ABSTRACT
A new Determining Horvath-Kawazoe (DHK) program for the evaluation of pore-size distribution curve based on the HK method (J. Chem. Eng. Jpn. 16 (1983) 470) is described. The standard bisection procedure (Gerald, C.F., 1977. Applied Numerical Analysis, 2nd ed. Addison-Wesley, CA) is used as a kernel in the proposed algorithm. The calculation of the effective pore-size distribution and the comparative analysis with the previous data published by Horvath and co-workers (J. Chem. Eng. Jpn. 16 (1983) 470; Fraissard, J., Conner, C.W., 1997. Physical Adsorption: Experiment, Theory and Applications. Kluwer Academic, London) and recalculated by Do (Do, D.D., 1998. Adsorption Analysis: Equilibria and Kinetics. Imperial College Press, London) were done.
