โฆ Synopsis
The mechanism of mercury penetration in two different commercial carbon blacks is studied. We show that the volume variation measured by mercury porosimetry in these systems is due to three successive mechanisms, which occur as the pressure increases: (1) mercury invasion of voids between macroscopic grains, (2) compaction and elastic compression of macroscopic grains, (3) intrusion in the voids of aggregates formed by primary particles. The cumulative surface calculated by the Rootare-Prenzlow equation (S RP ) in the intrusion part and the BET surface area measured by nitrogen adsorption (S BET ) are compared.
