Abstract

The methods of solution thermodynamics provide a powerful tool for correlating, interpolating and, under certain conditions, extrapolating experimental adsorption data with respect to temperature, pressure and composition variables. Predicting adsorption from adsorbate-solid intermolecular forces is still an unsolved problem for commercial adsorbents. However, the effects of intermolecular forces can be incorporated in models of mixed-gas adsorption by extracting information from experimental pure-gas isotherms. New theories that take into account energetic heterogeneity provide a marked improvement over models that assume the adsorbed phase to be homogeneous.
