Surface Area and Porosity Determinations by Physisorption

Surface Area and Porosity Determinations by Physisorption is a practical guide for the physical adsorption. Starting with a brief description of the physical adsorption. The instrumentation for measuring isotherm is described in some details. Recommendations are presented as for what instrumentation would be appropriate for a particular application. An appendix of current commercial instruments is included.

The mathematics is required for the analysis of the analysis of the most useful analysis methods. Subsequent chapters describe the analysses and theories behind the analyses in more detail.

* Includes over 150 figures and tables
* Provides a practical guide for measuring and interpreting physical adsorption
* Up-to-date aspects of the more subtle physical adsorption
