Emanation Thermal Analysis has been very useful in the characterization of inorganic sorbents developed in the frame of the bilateral US-Czech Science and Technology Programme on the environmental pollutants study. ETA made it possible to establish optimum conditions for the sorbents preparation as well as to optimize methods for the used sorbents treatment. The ETA has been recommended as a suitable tool for monitoring of the intermediate and final products, for following the morphology changes of inorganic sorbents... 2, record 5, English, - emanation%20thermal%20analysis
