Description
Surface Area and Porosity Determinations by Physisorption is a practical guide for industry or academics to the measurement
of surface area and pore size using the tool of physical adsorption. Starting with a brief description of what physical adsorption is
and the raw data that is obtained. The instrumentation for measuring this isotherm is described in some details. Recommendations are
presented as to what instrumentation would be most appropriate for a particular application. An appendix of current commercial instruments
is included.
The mathematics required for the simple analysis of the obtained isotherm is presented with step-wise instructions
for the analysis of the more useful analysis methods. Subsequent chapters describe the analyses and the theories behind the analyses
in more detail.
Audience:
For graduate students in surface chemistry and quality assurance laboratory technicians and managers in industry
