Abstract
Low coverage adsorption properties of n-alkanes were used to characterize microporous adsorbents. A confinement factor Z, defined as the ratio of the increase of adsorption entropy with carbon number over the increase of adsorption entropy with carbon number, correlates well with the pore size.
