Abstract
The adsorption of nitrogen in a collection of spheres that touch or merge in a sintering-like manner is modeled using a Derjaguin–Broeckhof–de Boer approach. The proposed model accounts for both positive curvature effects and for capillary condensation at the contact between two spheres. A methodology is proposed to fit the P / P 0 > 0.4 adsorption region with the coordination number of the spheres as the only adjustable parameter. The use of the model is illustrated on a series of silica aerogels. The suitability of various standard isotherms needed for the modeling is also discussed.
