A fine pore characterization method is investigated for a disordered solid including inaccessible pores. Here inaccessible pores denote ones into which N2 molecule cannot access at 77 K. Activated carbons prepared differently are examined. The basic idea of the method is as follows: (1) Pores are classified into effective micropores (further devided into smaller and larger micropores distinguished from DR (Dubinin-Radushkevich) analysis and inaccessible pores. (2) Volume fraction is determined for each type of pore considering densities. (3) Debye-Bueche plot derived from SAXS analysis is used to estimate the average transversal length of solid part and pore, respectively, convinedwith their volume fractions obtained from (1) and (2). (4) In case of a porous systemwith a symmetrical shape of pores, relative number and size of inaccessible pore to effective micropore are calculated.
