Physisorption Analyzer

The Instrument:

The BET (abbreviated from Stephen Brunauer, Paul Emmett, and Edward Teller) is used to measure the surface area of solid or porous materials. It gives important information on their physical structure as the area of a material’s surface affects how that solid will interact with its environment.

Make: Anton Paar 

Model: AUTOSORB iQ-XR  

Features and Specification:

• Capable of determining specific surface areas below 0.01 m2/g, pore volumes up to 500nm and pore size distributions down 0.35nm of porous solids.

• It is highly precise in-built sample preparation and comprehensive data reduction library for precise and reliable measurements of non-porous, mesoporous and microporous materials.

Applications:

• Knowledge of surface area is critical in various applications, including the production and processing

of carbon, catalysts, organic materials, minerals, powdered metals, ferrites, batteries, and ceramics.

• BET surface area (single and/or multipoint).

• Langmuir surface area, adsorption and/or desorption isotherms, pore size and surface area distributions, micropore volume, and surface area.
