Measurements of Heats of Adsorption of Organic Vapours on Adsorbents of High Surface Area using a Continuous Flow Calorimeter

Abstract

AN apparatus for the measurement of heats of preferential sorption from liquid carriers by means of a continuous-flow system has already been described1. It was felt that this technique mightalso be applied to adsorption processes taking place from the vapour phase. A later model of the apparatus originally described was therefore modified to investigate the adsorption of organic vapours on to surfaces of high specific area.
