Determination of the specific surface by nitrogen adsorption and comparing it with the geometric surface of the solid
Abstract
The paper deals with the problem of comparing the specific surface area determined by the BET method, and the geometric area. The cause of these discrepancies has been isolated and it has been shown that, depending on adsorbate molecules' packing type in the adsorption layer, the degree of divergence of the specific surface area determined by BET and geometric area of the solid, ranges between 10 and 20%.
