<p>An object of the present invention is to provide an adsorbent suitable as an adsorbent for a canister which is capable of reducing an amount of evaporated fuel gas released into the atmosphere even where a motor vehicle is allowed to park for a prolonged period of time, a process for producing the adsorbent as well as a canister using the adsorbent and a method for using the canister. The above object can be accomplished by an adsorbent in which an integrated volume of pores having an average diameter of 3,000 to 100,000 nm as measured with a mercury porosimeter is 6.5 mL/dl or more and an equilibrium adsorption as measured in an n-butane volume concentration of 2,000 ppm is 0.16 g/dL or more, a process for producing the adsorbent, as well as a canister and a method for using the canister.</p> |
