Typically, the active metal precursor is dissolved in an aqueous or organic solution. Then the metal-containing solution is added to a catalyst support containing the same pore volume as the volume of the solution that was added. Capillary action draws the solution into the pores.
From literature, The active metal precursor in my case is potassium carbonate is dissolved in "deionized water". But no details were written about the pores volume of calcium oxide catalyst!
What is the method for knowing the pores volume of catalyst? Please.
