Coultier Omnisorp 100CX
Area and porosity of particles by physisorption and chemisorption, static volumetric method for adsorption and desorption isotherms.
For example:
Specific surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution of solid porous materials (physisorption of nitrogen at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, 77 K).
Metal surface area and dispersion measurements of carrier supportted metal catalysts (chemisorption of hydrogen or carbon monoxide at temperatures near room temperature).
Suitability of the method for each samples, such as heating as a pretreatmet, must be discussed separately.
