Abstract

Transport characteristics of four porous samples with bidisperse or broad monodisperse pore structure were determined by combination of diffusion and permeation measurements with simple gases and compared with results obtained from diffusion of toluene or α,α,α-trifluorotoluene in cyclohexane in liquid phase. From comparison of both types of results it followed that all pores are decisive for the rate of diffusional transport in liquids, whereas only the wide transport pores are significant in gas diffusion.
