Abstract
The most important microporous adsorbents from an industrial point of view are activated carbon, silica, and molecular sieves. Adsorption equilibrium in these solids is measured experimentally. In some cases the experimental results can be explained in terms of molecular models. The accumulation of a data bank26 of single-gas adsorption isotherms is an essential first step toward the development of theories for calculating adsorption isotherms from gas-gas and gas-solid potential energies. Meanwhile, experimental adsorption isotherms provide the basis for correlating and predicting adsorption from gas and liquid mixtures. At present there are wide gaps in published experimental data on systems of commercial importance such as adsorption of ethanol, water, sulfur compounds, oxygen, nitrogen, and xylene isomers.
