Abstract
In the present work, a Monte Carlo simulation of the dehydration proce ss of an amorphous silica surface has been performed. Our modelling al lowed a complete compositional description of the different hydroxyl s pecies present during the thermal treatment. Simulation results have b een compared with temperature programmed desorption, surface nuclear m agnetic resonance spectroscopy and surface chemical analysis experimen tal data.
