In this article, activated carbon aerogels (ACAs) were prepared by CO 2 activation. Their pore structures were investigated by N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis. ACAs have excellent microporosity (e.g. 0.36 cm 3 /g) and mesoporosity (e.g. 1.72 cm 3 /g). Adsorption characteristics of phenol, methylene blue, I 2 , and VB 12 on ACAs in the liquid phase were studied by static adsorption experiments. Results showed that CO 2 activation process is an effective way to introduce micropores in carbon aerogels, which is enhanced with the increase of activation time. As a result, the adsorption capacities of the four mentioned adsorbates on ACAs were improved gradually with the increase of activation time. However, mesopore volume is also a factor on improving adsorption properties for the relatively giant molecules methylene blue and VB 12 . © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007
