The adsorption of nitrogen has been measured at 78 °K. for three artificial graphites and one carbon black, which have been brominated to saturation and then debrominated by heat-treatment under vacuum or in the presence of an inert gas over a range of temperatures. During the bromine removal, the graphites were heated to a maximum temperature of 1000 °C. and the carbon black to a maximum of 1200 °C. When the graphite of smallest area was brominated it did not return to its original area even after heat-treatment at 1000 °C, whereas the graphite of largest area exceeded its original area when it was brominated and heated at 1000 °C. The surface area of the brominated carbon black was restored to the original value when it was evacuated at 400 °C. After evacuation at 600 °C, the surface area was greater than that of the original carbon black, but fell to a value less than the original area when the sample was evacuated at 1200 °C. These observations are believed to be in accord with the known structures of the graphites and the carbon black.
