The BET method is widely used in surface science for the a layer i) is proportional to both its fractional surface i
calculation of surface areas of solids by physical adsorp- and to the pressure P, and that the desorption rate R ,i

where vm is in units of volume which are also the units of
the molar volume of the adsorbate gas, N is Avogadros
number, s the adsorption cross section of the adsorbing
species, V the molar volume of the adsorbate gas, and a
the mass of the solid sample or adsorbent.
SBET =
Rdes,i = ki i ,
where ki and k-i are the kinetic constants (depending on
the temperature) for the adsorption on the layer (i1) and
desorption on layer i, respectively. For the adsorptions,
these constant are assumed similar whatever the surface.
Assuming an Arrhenius law for desorption, the related
constants can be expressed as
ki = exp(Ei /RT ),
Derivation
where Ei is the heat of adsorption, equal to E 1 at the sample surface and to EL otherwise.

K). BET theory can be applied to estimate the specic
surface area of activated carbon from experimental data,
demonstrating a large specic surface area, even around
3000 m g1 .[3] However, this surface area is largely overestimated due to enhanced adsorption in micropores,[4]
and more realistic methods should be used for its estimation, such as SPE method.[5]
