Equations of the theory of micropore filling have been applied to the description of adsorption equilibria in systems containing microporous carbon and benzene solutions in water. The parameters of these equations have been evaluated from experimental data obtained for two commercial activated carbons. Comparison of the calculated and experimental adsorption isotherms suggest that these activated carbons are characterized by heterogeneous microporosity. The effect of water on the adsorption behaviour of benzene molecules in the micropores has been considered.
