Entropy Of Adsorption

It has been found that doping of active carbon with metals (Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) decreases its surface area due to dispersion of metal resides on the surface. A detailed examination of nitrogen adsorption indicates differences in the mode of dispersion of metals on the surface of active carbon. The adsorbing behavior of metal doped carbon for methyl formate was also studied as a function of temperature. From adsorption data, thermodynamic parameters such as free energy, enthalpy and entropy of adsorption were calculated using virial isotherm expression and interpreted. Results show that metal dopant/active carbon systems are synergic, exhibiting greater adsorption affinity for methyl formate than the sum of its constituents.

Entropy Of Adsorption

Reversible results for the adsorption of benzene, toluene and n -heptane vapours on mercury have been obtained. The films were found to be gaseous and obeyed the Volmer eqution F ( A - b ) = kT , where F = spreading pressure, A =area per molecule and b = co-area. The possibility that the films might be immobile was considered and the Langmuir equation was applied but found unsatisfactory. A standard state for the surface phase was defined and the free energy, total energy and entropy of adsorption evaluated. The heat of adsorption was shown to increase with the amount on the surface. A number of phase changes were found to occur after the completion of monolayer adsorp­tion, the most striking being interpreted as the change over from ‘flat’ to ‘vertical’ adsorp­tion of the toluene molecules. Others were thought to be either two-dimensional condensation or adsorption of a second layer.

AbstractIn this study, a novel method for the synthesis of hybrid, porous microspheres, including divinylbenzene (DVB), triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) and methacrylated lignin (L-Met), is presented. The methacrylic derivatives of kraft lignin were obtained by reaction with methacryloyl chloride according to a new experimental protocol. The course of the modification of lignin was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance (ATR-FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The emulsion-suspension polymerization method was employed to obtain copolymers of DVD, TEVS and L-Met in spherical forms. The porous structures and morphologies of the obtained lignin-containing functionalized microspheres were investigated by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption data and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microspheres are demonstrated to be mesoporous materials with specific surface areas in the range of 430–520 m2/g. The effects of the lignin component on the porous structure, shape, swelling and thermal properties of the microspheres were evaluated.

Dielectric Relaxation Behavior

The dielectric relaxation behavior of 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-heptanone, and 3-nonanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride has been studied in the microwave region at a number of temperatures. The relaxation data have been used to estimate the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of activation for the relaxation mechanism. The values of the relaxation time for those solutions for which there are available known data agree well with other determinations. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by intramolecular and overall molecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

Adsorption Data

Adsorption of benzene has been studied using four samples of fine sodium chloride. The range of relative pressures employed extended to 0.99. The data were employed to show that a correction to the relative pressure should be applied because of the curvature of the surface. The correction was made in the form of a reduction of the apparent relative pressure by application of the Kelvin equation, since the relative pressure over a convex surface would be less than over a plane surface. The adsorption data at high relative pressures for several samples of salt could then be represented by a common curve. It was further concluded that the thick-layer theory of adsorption due to Frenkel, Halsey, and Hill was applicable to adsorption on salt. Adsorption data for ethanol were then obtained and the reduction of surface free energy of the salt by the saturated vapor was evaluated. This figure was then combined with van Zeggeren's and Benson's value of the solid–liquid interfacial free energy for salt and ethanol to provide a provisional value of the surface free energy of sodium chloride of 227 ergs cm−2.

In this research local wheat peel was used as an adsorbent surface for removal of Azure B (AB) dye from the aqueous solution. The adsorption process was performed at different experimental parameters, equilibrium time, temperature, ionic strength and solution pH. The isotherms of adsorption are of H-type as compared with Giles curves and the adsorption data were coincide with Freundlich equation. The adsorption kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo- first and second order kinetic models. The effect of temperature was studied and the amount of dye adsorbed was found to increase with the increasing of temperature from 25 to 50 oC. The values of thermodynamic functions like enthalpy and entropy have been estimated. The quantity of adsorbed dye on the wheat peel increase according to the sequence follows: pH 9.3? 8 ? 7 ?6 ?5.2.The adsorption phenomenon is influenced by the sodium chloride concentration of solution. The obtained data refer to a decrease in amount of Azure B adsorbed in the existence of electrolyte.

Using Transition-State Theory, experimental rate constants, determined over a range of temperatures, for reactions of vitamin E type antioxidants are analysed in terms of their enthalpies and entropies of activation. It is further shown that computational methods may be employed to calculate enthalpies and entropies, and hence Gibbs Free Energies, for the overall reactions. Within the Linear Free Energy Relationship (LFER) assumption, that the Gibbs Free Energy of activation is proportional to the overall Gibbs Free Energy change for the reaction, it is possible to rationalise, and even to predict, the relative contributions of enthalpy and entropy for reactions of interest, involving potential antioxidants.

Entropy Of Adsorption

Of the major replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are now accepted as being prime contributors to stratospheric ozone depletion. As a consequence, the development of adsorbents capable of adsorbing and recovering specific HCFCs has received great attention. This paper describes an investigation of the adsorption equilibrium of 1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) vapour on a commercial hydrophobic zeolite. The corresponding Henry, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) equilibrium isotherms have been determined and found to correlate well with the experimental data. Based on the Henry adsorption isotherms obtained at 283, 303 and 313 K. thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, free energy and entropy of adsorption have been computed for the adsorption of HCFC-141b vapour on the adsorbent. The results obtained could be useful in the application of HCFC adsorption on the hydrophobic zeolite studied.
