Surface Analysis of Carbon & Zeolite Catalysts Using 3D Profilometry

In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure the surface of carbon and zeolite catalysts. The area measured was selected at random, and assumed large enough in that it could be extrapolated to make assumptions about a much larger surface. Surface roughness and developed area will be used to characterize the available surface area.
