Measurement of Graphitic Acid Surface with Polar Molecules

Abstract

WE have been carrying out sorption of polar molecules by graphitic acid, measuring the quantity sorbed in order to determine the interlamellar surface. The following experimental methods were used: (1) volumetric Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (B.E.T.); (2) gravimetric Joly balance1; (3) X-ray diffraction. The first two give a measure of the surface, the third technique gives a measure of the increase of space between the layers.
