I. Pashalidis et Cr. Theocharis, THE EFFECT OF SORBED TOLUENE ON THE SURFACE-PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM HYDROXIDE, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 71(3), 1998, pp. 223-226
The surface properties of commercial grade calcium hydroxide were stud
ied by nitrogen adsorption isotherm analysis, FTIR spectroscopy (KBr t
ransmission and reflectance) and TGA analysis before and after toluene
adsorption. Experimental results show that the surface texture of cal
cium hydroxide is little affected despite the relatively high amounts
of adsorbed toluene and that the organic molecules are strongly bonded
onto the solid, and on internal surfaces which are accessible through
slit-shaped openings. (C) 1998 SCI.
