Consolidation of metal oxide nanocrystals. Reactive pellets with controllable pore structure that represent a new family of porous, inorganic matierals

The pore structure and adsorption properties of nanocrystaline pellets of magnesium oxide are examined, focusing on nanocrystaline powders and nanocrystalline pellets. A hydraulic press is used to compress the nanocrystalline powders, while a Stokes Tablet machine is employed to produce pellets with various compressions from powdered materials. The results are tabulated and graphed.
