Abstract

Two ordered microporous carbons (0.83 nm and 1.55 nm) were synthesized for the first time via a modified silica template method, enabling the adjustment of the carbon microporous structure, which is a limitation of the conventional zeolite template method. Dye adsorption showed that its removal rate increased with decreasing pore size.
