Pore Size and Surface Characteristics of Porous Solids by Mercury Porosimetry

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Particle Technology Series ((POTS,volume 16))

Abstract

The experimental method employed in mercury porosimetry is presented in detail in chapter 18. It involves filling an evacuated sample holder with mercury and then applying pressure to force the mercury into interparticle voids and intraparticle pores. Both applied pressure and intruded volume are recorded.
