Abstract

Behavior of molecules of adsorbed water in rice hulls, weevil, and amorphous samples of carbon-containing (carbonized, SiO2 content 47%) and pure silica was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy in the temperature range from 200 to 298 K. The temperature dependence of the signal intensity from humid samples shows a decrease in temperature of freezing of the adsorbed water and presence of unfrozen water. This dependence was used for estimating the pore size distribution. For pure amorphous silica, the pore diameter is in the range from 50 to 150 A with a maximum at about 85 A.
