Results and discussion

Specific surface area
Key result
Specific Surface Area:
57.9 m²/g

Any other information on results incl. tables

Measured BET surface area: 57.9 m²/g.

It must be notified thet the empirically determined specific surfce area, according to George W. Sears, jr., is ten times higher than the surface determined via BET analysis.

Expert judgement:

The difference between the BET surface area (57.9 m²/g) and the specific surface area (588.6 m²/g) by titration is caused by interaction of the sodium hydroxide with aluminium ions in the substance. This phenomen was unexprected and will require a different set-up of the titration which should include a metal analysis, e.g. solved aluminium.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Specific surface area = 57.9 m²/g
