Popis: The thermal desorption of water from five aluminum oxide samples with different porosities and specific surface areas was studied under dynamic and quasi-isothermal conditions. The thermogravimetric (TG) curves obtained show multi-step weight losses associated with the initial evaporation of excess water, the removal of the water retained in small pores and the desorption of physisorbed and chemisorbed water from active surface sites with different energies. Further, it appears that the weight losses at the inflection points of the TG curves can be correlated with the surface free energies and porosities of the samples studied.
