Application of the Clustering-Based Lbet Class Adsorption Models to the Analysis of the Microporous Structure of Silica Membranes

This paper presents the application research results of the clustering-based LBET class adsorption models as a tool for the analysis of the porous structure of silica membranes. This research provides information on possible significant advantages that can be drawn while applying the new proposed method of microporous structure description in comparison with the conventional approaches. Furthermore, the obtained calculation results and additional information from adsorption isotherms analysis using LBET class models as well as their interpretation are shown. In particular, in the presented method it is possible to easily acquire not only information regarding the values of the obtained structure parameters, but also, more importantly, precise information on the reliability of these parameter calculations.
