Norlab offers a whole range of testing instruments for technical adsorbents.

In order to evaluate materials suitability for technical adsorption, we offer systems for:

  • Texture analysis (such as BET surface area and pore size distribution)
  • Study of adsorption capacity measured under real or close to real conditions of analytical gases and mixtures as well as pressure and temperature

Technical adsorbents include activated carbons, zeolites, molecular sieves, silica gels and activated clay soils. For metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as well as other synthetic, high-porous materials, please see Characterization methods for MOFs and other synthetic, highly porous materials

Technical adsorbents as a whole are used in industrial practices mostly in the form of granules, while their development in research usually results in powders.
