Abstract

The total pore volumes and the core size distributions were calculated for the silica gel Si-100 and chemically modified silica gels RP-8 and RP-18 on the basis of the thermal desorption data of various liquids. The results obtained are compared with those from the nitrogen adsorption/desorption method. Good consistency between the parameters obtained by using different methods is observed in the case of unmodified silica gel. The presence of long alkyl chains on the silica surface strongly influences the pore diameter calculated from thermogravimetric data.
