Best Practice for BET Surface Area

September 1, 2021

Overview

The specific surface area of a material, often referred to as BET surface area, is an important parameter throughout all kinds of industries. Whether it is in the field of adsorbents, additive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or catalyst research, this parameter helps in quality control, to optimize processes, and improve material performance.

Even though the determination of BET surface area is a well established method, it is worth taking a deeper look into the challenges that come with this method and the best way of using it.

In this webinar, we will talk about the historical background of BET surface area, look into sample preparation and setting up the best analysis parameters, and discuss how to use the Micromeritics Software to make most out of the BET measurements.
