Overview
CEN/TS 17510:2020 specifies a standardized laboratory method to determine the specific surface area of powders obtained from end-of-life tyres (ELT) by measuring physically adsorbed krypton gas and applying the multipoint Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The technique targets very low surface-area materials where traditional nitrogen or argon methods have limitations, enabling reliable, repeatable surface-area data for material characterization, process control and recycling applications.
Key Topics
- Principle: The method measures the monolayer capacity of krypton adsorbed at 77 K and derives the specific surface area via the BET equation over a multipoint relative pressure range.
- Sampling and representativity: Sampling shall follow the principle that every particle representing the lot has an equal chance of inclusion; laboratories are advised to follow CEN/TS 17188:2018 and EN 14243-2:2019 when preparing laboratory samples and test splits.
- Sample preparation and outgassing:
- Test-sample mass typically not greater than 10 g after splitting.
- Outgassing is conducted under ultra-high vacuum to remove physisorbed species while avoiding permanent modification of the sample. The specification cites an example regimen (60 °C for 8 h with stepwise heating).
- Maintain samples under vacuum or inert atmosphere until analysis.
- Analysis parameters:
- Use an automated volumetric apparatus designed for low-area determination, vacuum capability below 10-4 torr, calibrated manifolds and precise pressure transducers.
- Krypton analysis uses a multipoint BET (11 points) in the relative pressure range ~0.05–0.30 with equilibration times and void-volume determination (helium) as required.
- Gas purity and instrument calibration are emphasized to ensure accuracy.
- Quality criteria: Linear regression of BET points should yield a coefficient of determination (r²) of at least 0.999 for acceptance.
Applications
This method provides practical value across sectors that process ELT-derived powders:
- Recycling operations: Accurate surface-area data support decisions on further processing, beneficiation and end-use suitability.
- Quality control: Routine batch verification of powder consistency, surface activation and storage effects.
- Product development: Surface-area input for formulation, compounding and performance prediction when ELT powders are used as fillers or additives.

Introduction
Specific surface area (A ) is a parameter of great importance when it comes to physical characterization
s
of materials such as granulates and powders from rubber materials. Like other physical characteristics,
specific surface area could influence the performance of materials in its different applications.
Depending on the type of sample to be characterized, several different methods can be used for the
determination of the specific surface area, generally based on different physical principles. The most
widespread and useful method used in materials characterization is gas adsorption, either through
gravimetric or volumetric methods.
For very low surface area samples the traditional volumetric method of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K or
2 -1
Argon at 87 K shows some important limitations. Alternatively, for absolute areas as low as 0,05 m g
the suitable method for A determination is krypton adsorption at 77 K.
