Poren in Keramik bestimmen
(1994)
Porous and finely divided solids are distinguished by a large surface to volume ratio. As a result, they have specific properties, such as enhanced reactivity, a high adsorption capacity, and a lowered sinter temperature.
This contribution gives a survey over selected aspects of porous solids, with tlfe main emphasis on methods of characterization and their applications. We treat porous solids with a regular pore network (zeolites) and irregular pore structure (sintered compacts,rocks). After a short review of the possibilities orf characterization, we wilI describe the methods of gas adsorption and Hg intrusion in detail. Furthermore, we will give a critical assessment of the measurement of typical characterization parameters, such as the spedfic surface area, the pore volume and the pore volume distribution. The fractal character of large-surface and porous solids and the related uncertainty of the outcomes of measurements result in the necessity of standardization of experimental procedures and in the need for reference materials.
The section on applications treats examples of porous solids from different areas: densification of ceramic materials, porous ceramic carriers for flue gas desulfurization, technical catalysts (zeolite/binder), zeolites for the separation of substances, sedimentary and crystalline rocks.
X-ray computed tomography (CT) and mercury porosimetry were combined to connect density gradients and the distribution of open porosity in a sintered compact. CT clearly showed that open porosity follows the initial distribution of low-density zones. Mercury porosimetry detected three distinct levels of porosity. Microstructural examination correlated the porosity level with the coordination of (i) two to three or (ii) multiple grains around pores. This combination of techniques provides a novel tool for the study of pore and density-gradient evolution during sintering.
Binary organic-inorganic gels have been prepared by mixing a carbonaceous hydrosol and a Nb2O5 or Ta2O5 sol derived by hydrolysis of the alkoxides. The gels are pyrolyzed under an inert atmosphere into precursors in which carbon and the metal oxides are mixed very intimately. High temperature treatment converts the precursors into the cubic face centered carbides. The precursors as well as the carbides have been shown to be micro- and mesoporous materials. Measurements of nitrogen adsorption reveal a characteristic change of the shapes of the isotherms (Type I → Type IV) and of the hysteresis loops (H4 → H2 → H1) during the thermal processes. Pore widening has been observed with rising temperature. The phenomena of crystallization, carbothermal reduction and sintering were found to control the pore shape and size. The results of the adsorption measurement correlate well with those of the thermoanalytical and X-ray diffraction studies.
Rock porosity determination by combination of X-ray computerized tomography with mercury porosimetry
(1997)
Abstract First results are described of coupling of mercury porosimetry with X-ray computerized tomography (CT) as a new combination technique for rock porosity studies. This technique is suitable for rock samples with a pronounced mercury intrusion-extrusion hysteresis and includes CT measurements before and after mercury intrusion. The entrapped portion of mercury, when the pressure after the intrusion into the rock sample is reduced to 0.1 MPa, serves as a contrast agent in the porous network to localize spatial distribution of rock porosity by CT. The results obtained show that the mercury intrusion and therefore the porosity were quite different for the separate mineral phases. Therefore the combination of mercury porosimetry and computer tomography can give 3-D data on mineral-specific porosity distributions with additional pore size information. In contrast to mercury porosimetry as a single method, results of the combination technique with CT represent a direct visualization of porosity variation and do not depend on any special pore network model.
A new method for the physical characterization of rock matrices for use in site investigations of nuclear waste repositories has been developed. The method can provide information needed in the assessment of the performance of the geosphere working as a natural barrier retarding the migration of radionuclides by diffusion into the rock matrix. Most conventional methods for the physical characterization of rocks give only bulk information. The combination of mercury porosimetry and computer tomography can give 3-D data on mineral-specific porosity distributions with additional pore size information. Additionally, limits for mineral-specific internal surface areas can be estimated, which is essential for the assessment of water-rock interaction and reactive interaction with radionuclides (sorption). Results of measurements on granitic rock (granodiorite) from the Baltic shield are discussed and integrated with results by complementary methods.
Abstract Porous and finely dispersed certified reference materials (CRM) were certified using the gas adsorption method. The special certification procedure for IUPAC isotherm classification types I, II, and IV is presented for meso- and macroporous materials with special emphasis on specific surface area, specific pore volume and pore width according to standards DIN 66 131, 66 134, and 66 135. Four CRMs (SiO2, f-Al2O3, two transition aluminas) with a macro- and mesopore range are presented. Certification was made on the basis of BCR guidelines in connection with interlaboratory tests (altogether 38 participating laboratories, 44 various gas adsorption apparatus).
