The isosteric heat of adsorption of some n-alkanes (n-C 5 to n-C 8 ) on some adsorbents(activated alumina, natural zeolite(clinoptilolite) and 13X molecular sieve) were evaluated by inverse gas chromatography using the temperature dependence of adsorption.The isosteric heat of adsorption of the probes on alumina and clinoptilolite were determined in the finite concentration region, and those on 13X were determined in the infinite dilution region.It was found that the adsorption isotherms for alumina and clinoptilolite conform with the Langmuir equation, and the isosteric heats of adsorption increase linearly with increasing carbon number of the probes for alumina and 13X.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
