Physisorption instruments measure surface area and pore size. Chemisorption
instruments measure metal dispersion and metal surface area. The one-port analysis
manifold/vacuum system and two-port degas manifold/vacuum system are independent
and operate concurrently. Powerful Windows® based operating program. Includes
DFT Plus® ( NLDFT ) software.
Micromeritics'
ASAP 2020 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry Analyzer uses the gas
sorption technique to generate high-quality data for research and quality control
applications. Available options include the micropore option, the high-vac option,
and the chemisorption option, which uses the static volumetric technique to
determine the percent metal dispersion, active metal surface area, size of active
particles, and surface acidity of catalyst materials. Data obtained by an ASAP
2020 analyzer are used to achieve efficiency, safety, quality, and profitability
in any modern materials-oriented work, and can be used by scientists with confidence
and assurance.
Wide variety of ASAP 2020 applications
The ASAP
2020 is used to characterize the active and support surfaces of catalysts,
to determine the high surface areas of adsorbents, and to determine the microporosity
and hydrogen storage capacity of various nano materials. Materials with low
surface areas such as powdered metals, glass fibers, and natural organic materials
can also be analyzed. The pharmaceutical industry uses the ASAP
2020 to analyze tableted products, surface area being directly related to
dissolution rate. Micromeritics'
staff of scientists can help you determine how the ASAP
2020 can be used for your application.
New ASAP 2020 version 3.00 software provides options specifically designed
to help fuel cell and hydrogen storage researchers.
This new version provides options specifically designed to help fuel cell and
hydrogen storage researchers easily obtain hydrogen adsorption isotherms. Enhancements
allow users to collect isotherms by specifying absolute pressure targets, which
are commonly used for hydrogen adsorption studies. The ASAP
2020 report system has also been expanded to provide Pressure Composition
Isotherms. Tabular reports have been updated to include weight percent adsorbed.
All of these upgrades are included to simplify the collection of hydrogen adsorption
isotherms and also provide final reports which quickly provide more information
to the researcher. Other upgrades to the report system provide substantial benefits
for researchers synthesizing mesoporous materials.
