Monolayer capacity of water

As will be seen shortly, an analogous result is obtained with the silica-water system, where the BET monolayer capacity of water calculated from the water isotherm is roughly equal to the hydroxyl content of the silica surface. 

For materials such as porous gels, the monolayer capacity of water should be a more accurate definition of the surface. Belyakova et al. (46) reviewed the adsorption behavior of water on porous silicates as revealed by water adsorption isotherms. Another method for surface area measure-...
