J. Goworek et al., POROSITY OF SOLIDS BY TEMPERATURE-PROGRAMMED DESORPTION OF LIQUIDS - VARIOUS HEATING PROGRAMS, Thermochimica acta, 259(1), 1995, pp. 87-94
Thermogravimetric analysis was applied to the characterization of the
porosity of silica gel. The thermal desorption of benzene was investig
ated by using various heating programs. The influence of desorption co
nditions on the derived values of the structural parameters of silica
gel is discussed. Results from the thermogravimetric method are compar
ed with those obtained from nitrogen adsorption-desorption.
