Drying kinetics as Tool for the Assessment of Dynamic Porosity of Catalyst-Support Materials
International Journal of Renewable Energy & Biofuels
Critical drying fraction data (xc) were obtained for a series of porous materials, frequently used as supports for heterogeneous catalysts. This kinetic parameter correlates well with the second-order rate constants for water diffusion in the pores (p < 0,01). It is concluded that xc is…
