A series of Maxsorb activated carbons, in powder, pellet and disk form, has been characterized by N2 adsorption, following which CH4 adsorption at high pressures up to 3.5 MPa was studied for the different samples.
The evaluation of these materials for gas storage shows very promising behaviour for Maxsorb disks with a storage capacity of 150 volumes of gas at STP per container volume at 3.5 MPa.
