The PMI Advanced BET SORPTOMETER BET-203A Nt just prducts...slutins!
DESCRIPTION PMI s BET-Srptmeter is fully autmated, vlumetric gas srptin analyzer t measure accurately adsrptin and desrptin istherms fr the characterizatin f surface area, pre size distributin, pre vlume and pre structure f micr and mesprus materials as well as the kinetics f adsrptin. APPLICATION PMI s BET Srptmeter has a multitude f applicatins in industries wrldwide. Sme applicable industries include Autmtive Industry Battery/Fuel Cells Industry Ceramic Industry Chemical Industry Filtratin Industry Paper Industry Pharmaceutical/Medical Industry Pwder Metallurgy Industry And many mre PRINCIPLE When clean surface is expsed t a gas, an adsrbed film frms n the surface. Adsrbed films als frm n the surface f pres within a material and vapr can cndense in the pres. At a cnstant temperature, the amunt f adsrbed/cndensed gas n a surface depends n the pressure f the gas. Measurement f the amunt f adsrptin/cndensatin as a functin f pressure can give infrmatin n the pre structure. The PMI Srptmeters use gas adsrptin/cndensatin t analyze pre characteristics. Further, measurement f pressure as a functin f time prvides the kinetics infrmatin f adsrptin.
PHYSICAL ADSORPTION Weak van der Waal s type interactin f mlecules with a pre surface leads t physical adsrptin. The Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) thery f physical adsrptin is nrmally used fr analysis f adsrptin data t cmpute surface area. P = 1 C-1 m P m Where: Figure 4 Adsrptin and Desrptin Istherms W = amunt f adsrbed gas Water Vapr at 0 C Wm = amunt f gas adsrbed in a mnlayer P = gas pressure P0= equilibrium (saturatin) vapr pressure at the test temperature C = dimensinless cnstant that depends n the temperature and the gas/slid system When vapr pressure, P is lw cmpared with P0 (0.05 < P/P0 < 0.3), the plt f [P/W (P0 P)] verses [P/P0] is linear and the plt yields the magnitudes f C and Wm. The surface area S per unit mass, m, f the sample is cmputed using the crss-sectinal area f the adsrbed gas mlecule: S= Wm N a m Where: N a = crss sectinal area f the adsrbed gas mlecule Wm = amunt f gas adsrbed in mles Figure 1 Adsrptin and Desrptin Istherms at Liquid N2 temperature
VAPOR CONDENSATION As the relative vapr pressure (P/P) increases, vapr eventually cndenses in the pres utilizing the surface free energy available due t replacement f the slid/vapr interface by slid/liquid interface. The amunt f vapr cndensed in pres gives the pre vlume, and the Kelvin equatin gives the pre diameter. In ( P )= - 4 γ V cs θ DRT Where: γ = surface tensin f cndensed liquid D = pre diameter V= mlar vlume f cndensed liquid R = gas cnstant θ = cntact angle T = abslute test temperature Adsrbed layersf mlecules frm n the pre walls befre cndensatin fills the pres. Therefre the actual pre diameters are cmputed by adding tw times the thickness f the adsrbed gas layer t D. A cmplete adsrptin istherm is determined by measuring the amunt f vapr adsrbed as a functin f increasing pressure. A desrptin istherm is determined by measuring the amunt f adsrptin as a functin f decreasing pressure. Based n this technique, characteristics f materials related t adsrptin, desrptin, surface area and pre vlume can be determined. PORE VOLUME & PORE DIAMETER Pre vlume, pre diameter and pre vlume distributin can be determined accurately by the PMI BET Srptmeter. The distributin functin is such that area under the functin in any pre diameter range is the vlume f pre in that range. Figure 2 Pre Vlume Distributin
ADSORPTION & DESORPTION ISOTHERM Adsrptin and desrptin f gasses n samples can be accurately measured using ur BET Srptmeter. The user has independent cntrl ver the quantity and spacing f pressures used in bth adsrptin and desrptin testing. Many different kinds f analyses are available t interpret data using the supplied reprt generatin sftware.
