[...]... , Y ¼ vs and vg, and Z ¼ As ; we can now discuss the problems of the adsorption mechanism as in Ref 5 The molecules in the gas phase have two types of energy: potential and kinetic During the adsorption process, these energies change and these changes appear in the differential heat of adsorption The potential energy of a molecule of adsorptive can be characterized by a comparison: A ball standing on... between the differential heat of adsorption and the energy of lateral interactions; that is, diff U0 ¼ qdiff À Uls ð71Þ As will be demonstrated in the next section, the thermodynamic parameter functions, As and diff U0 are the bases of a uniform interpretation of S=G adsorption However, before this interpretation, a great and old problem of S=G adsorption should be discussed and solved II THERMODYNAMIC... electrolytes, and (3) lateral and vertical interaction nðsÞ do not take place between the components In Fig 1 can be seen the five types of isotherm, n1 versus x1 , classified for the first time by Schay and Nagy [4] In Fig 2 are shown the corresponding composite isotherms calculated by Eqs (37) and (38) It should be emphasized that the fundamental thermodynamics of S=L adsorption is exactly defined by (35) and. ..

Adsorptive Potential The Gibbs equations derived for free, S=L, and S=G interfaces provide a uniform picture of physical adsorption; however, they cannot give information on the structure of energy [i.e., we do not know how many and what kind of physical parameters or quantities influence the energy (heat) processes connected with the adsorption] As it is well known these heat processes can be exactly... is equal to that in the bulk liquid in the real system Equations (28) and (29) were derived for first time by Bartell and Ostwald and de Izaguirre [2, 3] The importance of Eq (29) is in the fact that it permits the measurement of the nnðsÞ versus x1 excess 1 isotherms directly However, the exact thermodynamical interpretation of S=L adsorption requires that the measured value of nnðsÞ in Eq (29) be compared . with gas–solid adsorption and Chapters 10–15 deal with liquid–solid adsorption. Chapter 2 discusses the gas– solid adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces and provides an excellent and up-to-date. section of the recent theoretical and practical results achieved in gas–solid and liquid–solid adsorption, and it can be proved that the methods of discussion (modeling, analysis) have the same root 375 Alexander A.
