Success of adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage process is mainly based on the characteristics of the adsorbent, so various synthesized adsorbents were analyzed for methane adsorption on a thermodynamic basis. Activated carbon from rice husk (AC-RH) was synthesized and its methane adsorption capacities were compared with phenol based activated carbons (AC-PH2O and AC-PKOH). The adsorption experiments were conducted by volumetric method under various constant temperatures (293.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K) and pressure up to 3.5MPa. Maximum methane adsorption was observed in AC-RH as its surface area is higher than the other two adsorbents. The experimental data were correlated well with Langmuir-Fruendlich isotherms. In addition, isosteric heat of adsorption was calculated by using Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
