We have recently proposed a new method for evaluating the adsorption energy distribution function χ(ε) from the numerical analysis of thermodesorption spectra. This method is based on an application of the Statistical Rate Theory developed by Ward et al. (1982). In this paper, we present some simplifications of this method thereby allowing its ready application. Illustrative calculations for the nitrogen thermodesorption spectra from the surface of molecular sieve carbon fibres (MSCF) are presented.

The new theoretical approach to multisite-occupancy adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces, developed recently by Rudziński and Everett, is generalized for the case of adsorption systems characterized by non-Gaussian adsorption energy distributions. Attention is focused on the adsorption energy distribution which, in the case of one-site-occupancy adsorption, leads to the Dubinin–Astakhov isotherm equation. In effect, a generalized form of that isotherm equation is developed for the common case of multisite-occupancy adorption in actual adsorption systems. The generalized equation is sensitive to surface topography; hence, fitting it to experimental adsorption isotherms creates a chance to study the surface topography of carbonaceous surfaces. An example of such computer exercises is reported here before a more systematic study is published.
