Summary of Test Method3.1 The total and external surface areas are measured byevaluating the amount of nitrogen adsorbed, at liquid nitrogentemperature, by a carbon blac

7、k at several partial pressures ofnitrogen. The adsorption data is used to calculate the NSA andSTSA values.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is used to measure the total andexternal surface area of carbon blacks based on multipointnitrogen adsorption. The NSA measurement is based on theB.E

8、.T. theory and it includes the total surface area, inclusive ofmicropores, pore diameters less than 2 nm (20 ). The externalsurface area, based on the statistical thickness method (STSA),is defined as the specific surface area that is accessible torubber.4.2 CTAB Surface Area (formerly Test Method D

9、 3765) hasbeen withdrawn. The CTAB value may be estimated from theSTSA value using Eq 1. The equation is based on a linearregression of the STSAand CTAB measured values of the SRB5 standards.CTAB 5 STSA * 1.0170 1 2.6434 (1)5.

10、ewar flasks and all other accessories required foroperation.5.2 Sample Cells, that when attached to the adsorptionapparatus, will maintain isolation of the sample from theatmosphere equivalent to a helium leak rate of 1 L)Fill and cover the Dewar for aminimum of 16 h prior to use, unless continuous

11、Pomeasure-ments are employed. For continuous Po, use a 2-h Dewarequilibration. Once equilibration is reached, a large Dewar canmaintain this equilibration for several days if kept filled andcovered. The cleaning frequency is left to the discretion of theoperator, but is not to exceed once per week.9

12、.3 Following is a list of Pomeasurement options:9.3.1 Continuous Po(measurement at each relative pressurepoint)This method is considered the best practice; however,it generally increases analysis time.9.3.2 Single PoPer AnalysisAlthough this value can bemeasured before, during, or after the run, a P

13、ovalue measuredat the end of the analysis is preferred, since STSA is calculatedfrom the last data points acquired and is significantly influ-enced by Povalues. This method requires that a Povalue bedetermined prior to initiating any measurements to ensureequilibrium of the Dewar as described in 9.4

14、. Subsequently, anew Povalue is measured for each run, which is used forcalculating NSA/STSA values.9.3.3 Daily PoThis method is used when evidence of astable Dewar is present and no changes in atmospheric pressuregreater than 0.13 kPa (1 mm Hg) occur.9.3.4 Calculated PoThis method calculates a Pova

15、lue bymeasuring atmospheric pressure and adding a value between1.3 and 2.6 kPa (10 and 20 mm Hg). The operator isresponsible for determining the constant used in their labora-tory; however, 2.0 kPa (15 mm Hg) is most commonly used.9.4 With the exception of continuous Pomeasurements, it isrecommended

16、 that the Povalue be determined prior to initiat-ing NSA/STSAanalyses.APovalue of 1.3 to 2.6 kPa (10 to 20mm Hg) above atmospheric pressure and two consecutive Povalues that differ by no more that 0.13 kPa (1 mm Hg) over a10-min time period are indications of a stable Dewar. Experi-ence will teach t

17、he operator about expected differences in Poand atmospheric pressure in their laboratory.NOTE 2A minimum wait time of 10 min is recommended between Pomeasurements, as immersing the Pocell into the LN2 disrupts thetemperature equilibration. Pomeasurements taken at short intervals willresult in errone

18、ously high and unstable values.D65560729.5 Determine the free space of the sample cell by measure-ment with helium or by calculation using an assumed carbonblack density of 1.9 g/cm3.9.6 Obtain a minimum of five data points evenly spaced inthe 0.1 to 0.5 relative pressure (P/Po) range. For some trea

19、dcarbon blacks, particularly N100 and N200 series, it is neces-sary to measure two additional data points, 0.05 and 0.075, inorder to increase the accuracy of the NSAmeasurement.Adatapoint consists of the relative pressure of equilibrium and thetotal amount of nitrogen gas adsorbed by the sample at

20、thatrelative pressure.9.7 Determine the mass of the cell with dry sample to thenearest 0.1 mg. This may be done before or after measuringnitrogen adsorption. Avoid inconsistent use of helium, as abuoyancy error of 1 mg/cm3of cell volume can occur. As analternative, the carbon black mass may be deter

21、mined directlyby pouring it from the sample cell into a tared weighing pan,taking care to remove all of the carbon black.10.

24、m= volume of nitrogen per gram that covers one mono-molecular layer in standard cm3/g, andC = B.E.T. constant. Its numerical value depends on theheat of adsorption of the monomolecular layer.10.4.2 Plot P/Poon the X-axis versusPVaPoP!on theY-axis, for data sets having P/Poin the range of 0.05 to 0.3

25、0(linear region of B.E.T. equation).10.4.3 The data points (three or more) that give the beststraight line are used to calculate the slope and y-intercept. Theslope and y-intercept are used to calculate the surface area. Forexamples of how to select the proper relative pressure range,see Table 1.10.

26、4.4 As an alternative, the interpretation of the properrelative pressure can generally be simplified by specifying thefollowing pressure ranges for the various carbon black types:BET RangeN300 and Carcass Grades 0.10.3N100 and N200 0.050.2Carbon Blacks 130 m2/g 0.050.1It is the responsibility of the

27、 operator to assure that theseguidelines are appropriate for their samples.10.4.5 A B.E.T. plot that yields a negative y-intercept couldbe indicative of the presence of micropores (2 nm diameter),but other factors can produce a negative y-intercept. Thesurface area is calculated from three or more p

28、oints within thepressure range that yields the highest correlation coefficientand a positive y-intercept.10.4.6 Calculate the nitrogen surface area to the nearest 0.1m2/g as follows:Surface area m2/g!5Vm 3 4.35 (5)4Brunuaer, Emmett and Teller, Journal of the American Chemical Society,Volume 60, 1938
