 Specific surface area

Specific surface area (SSA) is a measurement that quantifies the total surface area of a material per unit of mass or volume. It is commonly expressed in units such as square meters per gram (m²/g) or square meters per cubic meter (m²/m³). SSA is an important property in various fields, including material science, chemical engineering, geology, and environmental science, as it affects properties such as reactivity, adsorption, and transport phenomena.
