What Does BET Stand For?
BET stands for Brunauer Emmett Teller Isotherm Equation
The BET, or Brunauer Emmett Teller Isotherm Equation, is a mathematical model that describes the physical adsorption of gas molecules on solid surfaces. It extends the Langmuir theory to multilayer adsorption, allowing for the calculation of surface area and pore size distribution of materials. This equation is fundamental in material science and chemistry, particularly in the characterization of porous materials and catalysts.
