Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The first chapter introduces the concept of specific surface area and its importance in characterizing porous materials. It explains the different types of gas adsorption isotherms based on the IUPAC classification and the Langmuir isotherm as a model for monolayer adsorption. The chapter also discusses the theoretical background of the Langmuir method and its application in determining specific surface area.
The second chapter focuses on the BET isotherm model, which describes multilayer adsorption. It explains the theoretical basis of the BET method and its ability to determine specific surface area based on multilayer adsorption. The chapter also delves into the experimental determination of specific surface area using the BET method.
The third chapter presents the experimental results obtained from gas adsorption experiments on two porous materials, "Shale 1" and "Norit AC." It compares the results obtained from the Langmuir and BET methods, evaluating the strengths and limitations of each method in determining specific surface area.
