micropores

Micropores are extremely small holes or openings found in materials, typically measured in micrometers (millionths of a meter) or nanometers (billionths of a meter). They are often present in substances like activated carbon, zeolites, and certain types of soil. These tiny pores can influence a material’s properties, such as its ability to absorb gases or liquids. Micropores play a crucial role in areas like filtration, catalysis, and gas storage, making them important in environmental, industrial, and technological applications. Their size allows for selective interaction with different molecules, enhancing efficiency in various processes.
