Determination of pore-size distribution from freezing-point depression

Author

Summary, in English

By utilising the effect of interfacial curvature on the freezing-point of liquids confined in capillaries, it is in principle possible to determine a pore-size distribution, from the curve of freezing-point against volume frozen. The method is formally similar to capillary condensation methods based on the Kelvin equation. Suitable experimental techniques are described. A comparison with the results of mercury porosimetry on a sample of brick shows reasonable agreement.
