Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Gas/solid adsorption is crucial in various industrial processes.
  • Understanding adsorbent structure-property relationships is key for material design.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the sensitivity of adsorption to surface structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a thermodynamic model for gas/solid adsorption.
  • To define and calculate Characteristic Adsorption Functions (CAFs).
  • To investigate the sensitivity of CAFs to adsorbent surface structure.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a thermodynamic model using the Gibbs equation and calculable isotherm functions.
  • Defined and calculated Characteristic Adsorption Functions (CAFs).

  • Measured nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K on treated activated carbons and analyzed structural changes using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).

    • Main Results:

    • The developed model successfully defines CAFs.
    • CAFs were found to be highly sensitive to adsorbent surface structure.
    • A direct correspondence was observed between structural changes (monitored by SAXS) and CAF behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • The Characteristic Adsorption Functions (CAFs) offer a sensitive tool for characterizing adsorbent surfaces.
    • The thermodynamic model provides a robust framework for understanding gas/solid adsorption.
    • This approach links macroscopic adsorption behavior to microscopic structural features of adsorbents.
