A simple procedure for the evaluation of the micropore size distribution function of active carbons from the experimental adsorption isotherm of a single gas is discussed. In this method, the adsorption potential distribution and the dependencies of this potential on the micropore size for three different models, i.e. slit-like, cylindrical and spherical, are utilized. It was shown that the geometrical shape of pores may have a substantial influence on the micropore size distribution. While the micropore size distributions calculated assuming slit-like and cylindrical pore geometries are similar, spherical pore geometry leads to a substantially different distribution. A qualitative agreement was found between the micropore size distribution obtained by the current procedure, which is equivalent to the Horvath–Kawazoe method, and that evaluated by the density functional theory (DFT) method.

The Horvath–Kawazoe (H–K) method, which is frequently used to obtain the micropore size distributions of microporous materials, has been tested by Monte Carlo Simulation of nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The results show that the H–K method only gives good results when the microporosity is confined to a pore size lower than approximately 13 Å. In this region, although the method can predict the micropore size distribution peak with acceptable precision, it fails for wider distributions.
