Abstract

This introductory chapter provides some background information of the material to be presented: experimental methods to measure adsorption equilibria of pure and mixed gases on inert porous solids. Applications of gas adsorption processes in science and technology are outlined. An overview of the contents of the book is given. Remarks on subjects, measurement methods and other fields of adsorption science which could not be considered within this monography are mentioned. Hints to respective literature and references are given.
