A nanoporous copper (NPC) sample with well-ordered porosity of 20 nm was fabricated by an electrochemical dealloying single-phase Cu0.4Mn0.6 with an external potential of-0.5 V (MSE). The electrochemical mechanism of the dealloying process on the Cu-Mn surface was studied by a liner sweep voltammetry experiment, and an optimized applied voltage for the Cu-Mn system was recommended. The properties of the monolithic NPC, including morphology, chemical composition, surface area and wettability were systematically characterized. The specific surface area around 11.86 m2/g of the as-dealloyed NPC was measured by BET-nitrogen method. The micro/nanoscale bi-continuous 3D porous structures of NPC not only increase the surface area, but also improve the wettability of NPC surface since the increase in surface roughness.

Miscanthus is a highly productive, rhizomatous, C4 perennial grass that should be considered as an excellent active carbon precursor. This paper compares the charcoal characterization and chemical composition between M. sinensis and M. floridulus. Species differed in water content, hot water extract, 1% NaOH extract, organic solvent extract, cellulose, lignin and ash. Carbonization temperatures have effects on charcoal yields of Miscanthus, which ranged from 23.5% to 48.0% for M. sinensis and 11.3% to 37.2% for M. floridulus. Water content, charcoal density, pH value, and specific surface area of charcoal characterization varied between two species of Miscanthus. The specific surface area increased with the increase of carbonization temperature. The highest specific surface area of M. sinensis and M. floridulus was 351.74 m2g−1and 352.74 m2g−1, respectively, when the carbonization temperature was 800°C.

Boehmite nanocrystalline powders were obtained by neutralization of Bayer liquor at 70?C with addition of glucose. Temperature of the neutralization induced formation of the flower-like morphology of the nanopowders. XRD and FTIR results confirmed that the single phase boehmite is formed without any other impurities. Calcination at 500?C led to the formation of transition -alumina with the retention of the flower-like morphology. Both as-synthesised and calcined powders possessed high specific surface area with mesopores between 3-6 nm in diameter. Relatively low temperature of neutralization as well as the use of low cost and ecologically friendly glucose as a surfactant are very promising for the possible application in the industrial production of alumina nanopowders.

In this paper the comparison among some papermaking powder properties are studied. It shows that the properties of different powders are different because of different chemical composition and different preparation method and their particle size is different for different purpose such as filler and pigment. The particle size of powder for pigment powder is smaller than that for filler. The specific surface area of papermaking filler is lower than 20m2/g, the absorption value of DBP is about 45cm3/100g, the whiteness is up to 90%, and the particle size is about 3µm. The specific surface area of papermaking pigment is lower than 25m2/g, the absorption value of DBP is from 40 cm3/100g to100cm3/100g, the whiteness of clay is up to 50%, the whiteness of GCC and PCC is up to 90%, and the particle size is lower than 2µm. The specific surface area of silica is up to 100m2/g, the absorption value of DBP is up to 100cm3/100g, the whiteness is up to 97%, and the particle size is around 5µm.

The effect of different current regimes of electrolysis on the micro- and nanostructural characteristics of open porous structures was examined by the analysis of honeycomb-like copper electrodes obtained by constant galvanostatic (DC) electrodeposition and by regimes of pulsating (PC) and reversing (RC) current. An increase in the number of holes formed by detached hydrogen bubbles, the decrease in wall width between holes and changes in surface morphology around holes from cauliflower-like agglomerates of copper grains to dendrites were observed in the following order: the DC, PC and RC regime. The hole size formed in the RC regime was smaller than the hole size formed in the DC and PC regimes. Analysis of the obtained structural characteristics showed that the specific surface area of the honeycomb-like electrodes was increased by the application of the PC and RC regimes in relation to the DC regime.

Abstract Here away used to reduce the porosity of the nanofibers, which is removing PVA nanofibers from PVA/PA6 nanofibers by water treatment. Measuring the porosity of the electrospun web before and after treatment by the BET method proved this. The specific surface area of the web was 60 % reduced after water treatment. Surface roughness and pore volume have reduced after water treatment. Also, I introduced BET as the method for measuring the diameters of mesopores (or lower than 100nm). I used BET to prove that the cracks can make mesopores on the nanofibers.
