Auteurs : Moreno-Piraján Juan Carlos, Gutiérrez Liliana Giraldo, Gómez-Granados Fernando, Hernández-Monje Diana Cristina
Calorimetric Methods for the Characterization of Porous Materials presents calorimetric methods used in the characterization of porous materials using chemical thermodynamics. Among these materials, catalysts, supports and adsorbents (such as Activated Carbon, Metal-Organic-Frameworks, SBA-15, Zeolites, Graphene, Graphite, Carbon Foams) are presented. In addition, the use of calorimetry in the study of catalytic reactions in different phases is explored?applicable to air and wastewater treatment, clean and renewable energies, green chemistry, as well as energy production and storage (Carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogenat high pressure). Chapters summarize basic concepts of thermodynamics and kinetics alongside experimental techniques such as thermal analysis and calorimetry. In addition, information is given about different calorimetric methods that can be used in studies aimed at characterizing the physicochemical properties of adsorbents, supports and solid catalysts, as well as the processes related to the adsorption-desorption phenomena of the reactants and/or products of catalytic reactions.

Liliana Giraldo Gutierrez studied chemistry and obtained her PhD in Chemistry at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. She has been linked to this university since 1990, obtaining a Magna Cum Laude grade both in her undergraduate thesis as well as in her PhD thesis. She is director of the Calorimetry Laboratory of the Department of Chemistry. Her area of interest is calorimetry, which she uses in the characterization of special materials. She designs and builds her own calorimeters. She has more than 300 publications on thermodynamics to her name.
