A Novel Method for Analyzing Pore Size Distribution of Complex Geometry Shaped Porous Shale

This article proposes the differential BJH equation based on the principles of multilayer adsorption and capillary condensation, which was simplified by theoretical investigation and experiments. This work indicates that the differential function of isotherm and the differential function of pore size to relative pressure determine the pore size distribution of porous media. The differential BJH model can be used to explain the source of the false peak in pore size distribution and to calculate the pore size distribution of different shapes of pores in a porous media with a porous structure. It has an excellent application prospect in the characterization of complex pore structure represented by shale.
