Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Bet and Water Adsorption TechniquesB. H. Diya’uddeen, I. A. Mohammed, B. Y. Jibril, I. M. BugajeThe effect of activated carbon surface area on the amount of fluid adsorbed is significant. Thus, the surface area of an adsorbent is an important factor. The use of the costly BET measurement method is the standard. However, water adsorption method was proposed as an alternate method. Nevertheless, results presented were for activated carbon prepared and surface areas reported were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
