pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rates of release of nitrous oxide, from monodisperse fractions of activated alumina, are measured at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The values obtained follow a simple first-order law with respect to the gas adsorbed, the relative parameters depending strongly on the size of the particulates examined (5 to 50 micron).
