Determination of soil specific surface area by water vapor adsorption: III Comparison of surface areas determined by water vapor and nitrogen gas adsorption

The specific surface areas of ten soil samples (clay content 1—72 %, organic carbon content 0.8—11.5 %) were determined by water vapor and nitrogen gas adsorption. The surface areas obtained by application of the BET equation to water vapor sorption at p/po 0.12—0.42 (21—195 m2/g) were, on the avera...
