Technical characteristics

  • Experimental set-up for analyzing gas absorption by porous materials.
  • The materials are shaped and introduced into a thermostated column for dynamic gas analysis.
  • At the exit of the column, a gas detector (mass analyzer) is used to obtain the breakthrough curve and adsorption properties of these materials, in dynamic mode.
  • The gases of interest in air, nitrogen or helium are NO, NO2, N2O, CO, CO2, CH4, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2
  • Gas adsorption analyses on powder, BET analysis (Micromeritcs tristar and asap 2020), are used to obtain the specific surface area, pore volume and pore diameter of these materials.
