Abstract The elucidation of the pore structure of activated carbons requires complementary adsorption data and is of fundamental importance for the comprehension of the adsorption mechanism of organic molecules, as is the case of pharmaceutical compounds. The present work reports studies developed in the Adsorption and Adsorbent Materials Group highlighting the contribution of the micropore size distribution (MPSD), obtained from the fitting of CO2 adsorption data, for the deeper understanding of kinetic and equilibrium adsorption data of pharmaceutical compounds with distinct dimensions and behaviours in solution.
