Adsorption isotherms of phenol, p-nitrophenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid at three temperatures in the range 1–40° C on activated carbon have been obtained experimentally. Curve fitting to several theoretical equations shows that the Prausnitz equation gives the lowest deviations (1–3%). An inversion of the adsorption capacity of phenol with temperature has been observed, probably as a consequence of the high microporosity of the carbon and the restricted accessibility of phenol to the smaller pores. Adsorption at 40°C is also accompanied by the degradation of phenol by aerobic micro-organisms (ficomicetus-type fungi). Approximate values of the isosteric heats of adsorption of p-nitrophenol have been calculated, being in the range 5.8–6.5 kcal/mol. Differences in the behaviour of the three adsorbates are commented upon in terms of their physicochemical properties.

The isotherms of bromine on eight carbon blacks and on natural graphite have been related to the known structures of these materials. The surface areas can be calculated from the adsorption isotherms and the size of the graphite crystals can be estimated from the extent of hysteresis on desorption. The isosteric heats of adsorption on the surface and between the layers are each 11 kcal mole−1. The formation of residue compounds displaces the isotherms equally at all pressures.
