Sample preparation is an often-overlooked part of the material analysis process, never-the-less it is critical to achieving consistent and high-quality results. Improper sample preparation can lead to poor results or even damage process equipment. This webinar will discuss the importance of sample preparation and different methods for activating samples. Emphasis will be placed on activating samples for analysis in physisorption and chemisorption instruments. Particle size and methods to properly size samples to prevent pressure drop and mass transfer limitations will also be explored. Lastly, a case study comparing the results of properly and improperly prepared samples will be presented.
Topics will include:
- Methods for sample activation and preparation
- Techniques to properly size materials to prevent pressure drop and mass transfer limitations
- Methods to activate and analyze samples with difficult sample prep
