A mercury porosimeter has been used to measure the intrusion volume of the three types mercury positive lead acid-battery plates. The intrusion volumes were used to calculate the pore diameter, pore volume, pore area, and pore size distribution. The variation of the pore area in positive lead acid-battery plates as well as of the pore volume has the following sequence. Paste positive > Uncured positive > Cured positive

The porosity and pore size distribution of recent and ancient buried Phoebe zhennan are studied in this paper by means of mercury intrusion porosimetry. The results show that the micropore and mesopore diameters of recent and buried wood are mainly distributed in range of 40.3 nm and 183.1 nm respectively, while the macropore in 45276.6 nm and 3503.9 nm separately. For both samples, the pores with diameters below 349.9 nm account for about 60% of the total intrusion volume, and contribute more than 98% of the surface area. The cumulative pore area of recent wood is slightly greater and the pore diameter ranges from 50.3 nm to 349.9 nm. While the cumulative pore area of buried wood is significantly larger than and the pore diameter ranges until 50.3 nm. These results can provide information for further investigations on the sorption behaviour and the liquid permeability of ancient buried wood.

AbstractIn this study, the relationships between geotechnical index properties and the pore-size distribution of compacted natural silt and artificial soil mixtures, namely, silt with two different clays and three different clay percentages (10%, 20%, and 40%), were examined and compared. Atterberg’s limit tests, standard compaction tests, mercury intrusion porosimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface analysis were conducted. The results show that the liquid limit, the cumulative pore volume, and specific surface area of artificially mixed soils increase with an increase in the percentage of clay. The cumulative pore volume and specific surface area with geotechnical index properties were compared. High correlation coefficients were observed between the specific areas and both the liquid limit and the plasticity index, as well as between the cumulative pore volume and both the clay percentage and the

AbstractWe have shown previously the results from out-of-plane and in-plane X-ray scattering /diffraction measurements together with transmission electron microscope and X-ray reflectance measurements and shown that they are effective in characterization of a periodic porous silica low-k film [1]. In the present work, we report the results on pore-size distribution, pore-diameter anisotropy, and size and macroscopic isotropy of domain structure.

Multilayer tubular nanoporous ceramic membranes were successfully prepared via gel-casting followed by dip-coating. Tubular alumina porous support systems were manufactured by gel-casting method with pore size in the range of 100–600 nm. Interlayer and top-layer were fabricated with appropriate thickness, morphology and pore size distribution via dip-coating of submicron and nano alumina slurries respectively. The effects of the several parameters such as: solid content, dipping time, vacuum pressure, heating rate and number of coated layers on the structural properties of the prepared nanoporous ceramic membranes were studied to get an appropriate pore size and defect-free surface and then the optimum condition was presented. The morphology and surface quality of nanoporous ceramic membranes were investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and thickness of fabricated interlayer and top-layer were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mercury porosimeter measurements were performed to determine the open porosity, pore size and pore size distribution (PSD) of nanoporous ceramic membranes.

AbstractThe pore structure (i.e. total pore volume, surface area and pore-size distribution curves) was measured using mercury porosimetry and nitrogen sorption. Hydrated portland cement (type I) of water-cement (w/c) ratios 0.3, 0.4 and 0.6 by weight was analyzed at three degrees of hydration (i.e., 30%, 50% and 80%; 70% for the 0.3 w/c system) corresponding to low, intermediate and high levels of hydration. The effect of curing temperature (3°, 23°, and 43°C) on pore structure was also studied. The two techniques were evaluated as well on porous Vycor glass, which has a narrow pore size distribution in the size range accessible to both. Results obtained by both techniques on porous Vycor glass agreed well. However neither technique can be used alone to study the entire pore structure in well-hydrated cement due to the wide range in pore sizes and the presence of micropores. Due to the unstable pore structure in cement a specimen treatment procedure such as methanol replacement, combined with volume-thickness (V-t) analysis, is necessary in order to measure the micropores. At low hydration values the pore structure can be estimated by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). At higher hydration values, however, this technique underestimates total pore volume and surface area due to the presence of micropores which MIP cannot determine. In the pore size range of overlap, higher pore volumes were obtained with MIP. Nitrogen V-t analysis shows that micropores are more pronounced with lower w/c ratios. This finding is consistent with pore size distribution curves obtained by MIP. For a given w/c ratio and degree of hydration the total pore volume measured by MIP was found to be independent of curing temperature in the temperature range studied. At any w/c ratio, capillary porosity is controlled by degree of hydration alone.

As an important nuclear fuel, uranium in sandstone uranium deposits is mainly extracted by in situ leaching. The porosity of sandstone is one of the important indexes determining in situ leaching efficiency. Moreover, the microscopic pore size distribution (PSD) of the uranium-bearing layer has an important effect on porosity. It is necessary to feature the pore structure by various techniques because of the different pore types and sizes in the uranium layer. In this paper, combined with nitrogen gas adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and scanning electron microscopy, the full-scale PSD features of uranium-bearing sandstone in the northwest of Xinjiang are effectively characterized. The results show that pores structure of uranium-bearing sandstone include dissolution pores ( d ≤ 50 nm), intergranular pores (50 nm < d ≤ 200 µm) and microfractures. Intergranular pores of 60 nm and 1 µm are the significant contributors to pore volume. The effects of the pore volume of two pore types (dissolution pores and intergranular pores) on the porosity of uranium-bearing sandstone are analysed. The results show that intergranular pores have the greater influence on the porosity and are positively correlated to the porosity. Dissolution pores have little effect on the porosity, but it is one of the key factors for improving uranium recovery. Moreover, the greater the difference of PSD between sandstones, the stronger the interlayer heterogeneity of uranium-bearing sandstone. This kind of interlayer heterogeneity leads to the change of permeability in the horizontal direction of strata. It provides a basis for a reasonable setting of well type and well spacing parameters.

Concrete has served an essential role in many infrastructural projects. Factors including pore percentage, pore distribution, and cracking affect concrete durability. This research aims to better understand pore size distribution in cement-based materials. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) pictures were utilised to characterise the interior structure of specimens without destroying them. The pore dispersion of the specimens was displayed in 3D, utilising the data and imaging techniques collected, and the pore volume dispersion was examined using a volume-based approach. Another way to describe heterogeneous pore features is the chord-length distribution, which was calculated from three-dimensional micro-CT scans and correlated with the traditional method. The collected specimens were subjected to physical and mechanical testing. In addition, image processing techniques were used to conduct the studies. The results showed that the chord-length distribution-based pore size distribution is very successful than the traditional volume-based technique. The acquired data could be used for research and to forecast the characteristics of the materials.
