Summary

A quantitative treatment, coupled with critical qualitative considerations, pertaining to the study of thermodynamics of adsorption of N2 and CO2 on different graphite samples, through the evaluation of the ‘film pressure’,π as a function of temperature and pressure, is presented. The . determination of the adsorbent specific surface areas is affected through the graphic manipulation of the Langmuir adsorption equation utilizing data adopted from literature, and theπ values are then computed by employing the Gibbs adsorption equation by making use of the areas under them-lnP curves. The results deduced are discussed specifically in terms of π as related to the nature of the adsorbents, the magnitude of the calculated thermodynamic functions and the specific surface areas for the individual adsorbents.

Zusammenfassung

Die Arbeit bringt eine thermodynamische Studie der Adsorption von N2 and CO2 an verschiedenen Graphitpräparaten. Grundlage der Betrachtung ist der „Filmdruckπ” als Funktion der Temperatur und des Druckes. Die Bestimmung der spezifischen Oberfläche des Adsorbens wird beeinflußt durch die graphische Behandlung der Langmuirschen Adsorptionsgleichung. Es wurden Literaturwerte adoptiert undπ-Werte nach der Gibbsschen Adsorptionsgleichung berechnet. Die abgeleiteten Ergebnisse werden diskutiert und π zur Natur des Adsorbens, zur Größenordnung der berechneten thermodynamischen Funktionen und zur spezifischen Oberfläche der einzelnen Adsorbentien in Beziehung gesetzt.
