The aim of this work was to establish, for a suite of carbonaceous materials, the values of n (exponent in the Dubinin-Astakhov equation) for which a satisfactory agreement would be obtained between the experimental adsorption data and the DA equation, trying also to verify the obtained DA parameters referring to related results calculated, or obtained experimentally, independently. As adsorptives benzene (frequently used as standard) and cyclohexane (to avoid the presence of /pi/ - electrons in the molecule) were chosen. To have a suite of samples characterized by a systematically changing porosity, humic acids steam gasified chars were prepared with varying burn-offs. Humic acids from brown coals can be obtained with a low mineral matter content and they are thought to be representative for the organic substance of low rank coals. Additionally, two industrial active carbons, described elsewhere were investigated.
