Characterization of Porous Solids and Powders: Surface Area, Pore Size and Density
The growth of interest in newly developed porous materials has prompted the writing of this book for those who have the need to make meaningful measurements without the benefit of years of experience. One might consider this new book as the 4th edition of

Particle Technology Series Series Editor Professor Brian Scarlett Technical University of Delft
The Kluwer Particle Technology Series of books is the successor to the Chapman and Hall Powder Technology Series. The aims are the same, the scope is wider. The particles involved may be solid or they may be droplets. The size range may be granular, powder or nano-scale. The accent may be on materials or on equipment, it may be practical or theoretical. Each book can add one brick to a fascinating and vital technology. Such a vast field cannot be covered by a carefully organised tome or encyclopaedia. Any author who has a view or experience to contribute is welcome. The subject of particle technology is set to enjoy its golden times at the start of the new millennium and I expect that the growth of this series of books will reflect that trend.

Preface The growth of interest in newly developed porous materials has prompted the writing of this book for those who have the need to make meaningful measurements without the benefit of years of experience. One might consider this new book as the 4th edition of "Powder Surface Area and Porosity" (Lowell & Shields), but for this new edition we set out to incorporate recent developments in the understanding of fluids in many types of porous materials, not just powders. Based on this, we felt that it would be prudent to change the title to "Characterization of Porous Solids and Powders: Surface Area, Porosity and Density". This book gives a unique overview of principles associated with the characterization of solids with regard t
