Recently I noticed it happen to a few sample for this gap. If I run a standard sample Silica-Alumina for example, the curve is overlapping between a few first point of adsorption and a few end point of desorption. For this isotherm curve, what does it mean? is that not enough degas process?
In N2 adsorption at a standard temperature (BET), why does the adsorption and desorption curve is not overlapping each other?
