Journal ArticleDOI
Pore structure evolution in silica gel during aging/drying I. Temporal and thermal aging
TL;DR: In this paper, low-field NMR spin-lattice relaxation measurements of pore fluids contained in silica gels are employed as a pore structure probe to ascertain the changes that occur in a two-step acid/base-catalyzed silica gel during aging in its mother liquor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore structure evolution in silica gel during aging/drying II. Effect of pore fluids
TL;DR: In this article, a two-step acid-base-catalyzed silica gel has been aged in a series of alcohol and water baths and some chemical and physical structures of the gel were measured using several techniques (low-field NMR, 29Si and 13C MAS-NMR, IR, Raman, nitrogen adsorption) on gels in wet and dry states.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface area of a two-step acid/base-catalyzed silica gel at different pH values was studied. And the results of 29Si MAS-NMR were consistent with a close packed aggregate of ∼3 nm primary particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ pore structure studies of xerogel drying
TL;DR: In this paper, low-field spin-lattice relaxation (20 MHz proton NMR) measurements of ethanol contained in two base-catalyzed silica xerogels aged under different conditions have been applied as an in situ probe of pore structure development during Xerogel drying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid surface area determination via NMR spin-lattice relaxation measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical and experimental approach has been developed for measuring the surface area of both solid powders and porous solids using spin-lattice relaxation measurements of adsorbed water at 20 MHz and 303 K.
