Micropore volume

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007351",
  "term": "Micropore volume",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The total volume contained within the micropores of a solid material, typically an adsorbent. This value is determined from experimental adsorption isotherm data by applying theoretical models, such as the Dubinin-Radushkevich equation or density functional theory. The micropore volume is expressed as the volume of the adsorbed substance in its liquid-like state per unit mass of the adsorbent, with common units being cubic centimeters per gram (cm³/g).",
