The absorption of sodium vapour in commercial cathode materials for aluminium electrolysis has been studied within the range 1020–1227 K and 3–600 Torr. The absorption increases strongly with decreasing degree of graphitization. The absorption of sodium in the commercial materials can be described as a BET isotherm with calculated surface area between 9 and 124 m 2 /g. The measured surface...
