Relationship between pore volumes and surface areas derived from the evaluation of N2-sorption data by DR-, BET- and t-plot

A preliminary study on the pore characterization of Lower Silurian black shales in the Chuandong Thrust Fold Belt, southwestern China using low pressure N2 adsorption and FE-SEM methods

“…The micropore surface area and volume were estimated using the t-plot method based on the N 2 adsorption (de Boer et al, 1963;Webb and Orr, 1997;Hodson, 1999;Scherdel et al, 2010). In t-plots, the adsorbed N 2 volume (V ads ) is plotted against the statistical thickness (t) of the adsorbed layer of N 2 adsorption.…”

“…Thus the surface area of micropores (S mic ) can be estimated by subtracting the external surface area (S ext ) calculated by the t-plot method from the total surface area (S BET ) obtained by the BET equation Webb and Orr, 1997;Hodson, 1999;Scherdel et al, 2010;Kuila and Prasad, 2013).…”

The effect of the variation in material composition on the heterogeneous pore structure of high-maturity shale of the Silurian Longmaxi formation in the southeastern Sichuan Basin, China

“…Low-pressure N 2 adsorption analysis N 2 adsorption analysis was conducted using a four-type automatic surface area and porosity physical adsorption instrument (USA, Quantachrome Ins, Quadrasorb-SI) according to the Chinese National Standard GB/T 5751-2009. We obtained the surface area (SA) and pore volume (PV) based on multi-point BrunauereEmmetteTeller (BET) theory and the BarretteJoynereHalenda (BJH) method (Scherdel et al, 2010). N 2 adsorption analysis was primarily used to study the mesopore structure.…”

The addition of ortho-hexagon nano spinel Co 3 O 4 to improve the performance of activated carbon air cathode microbial fuel cell

“…To calculate the specific surface area of the catalyst layer, micropore and mesopore surface area, the BET model and t-plot-method were applied (Scherdel et al, 2010). Fig.…”
