Porosity and surface area are important characteristics of solid materials
that highly determine the properties and performance of catalysts,
sorbents, medicines, rocks, and so on. "How active is your
catalyst" and "How efficient will medicines work"
are questions related to these characteristics.
Physical and chemical gas adsorption as well as mercury intrusion
porosimetry are the most widely used techniques to characterize
the above-mentioned parameters. Our laboratory can measure specific
surface area (SBET), pore volume, pore size distributions in the
micro-, meso- and macropore range (0.5 nm - 200 µm),
density, active metal surface area and metal dispersion of various materials using
many dedicated instruments and experimental conditions for each application.
Disclaimer:
The results of techniques describing porous properties are obtained
via idealized models and are therefore not necessarily representing
geometrical values.
