The values of the isosteric heat of adsorption (qst) of Sr2+, Ce3+, Sm3+, Gd3+, Th4+ and UO22+ ions on activated charcoal have been calculated at different surface coverages and temperatures by applying the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. The variation of qst with surface coverage indicates the heterogeneous nature with varying activities of the activated charcoal surface. The behaviour of qst values with temperature suggests that two types of adsorption processes occur simultaneously; one with a small activation energy and the other with a large activation energy. A large increase in the qst values indicates that increasing temperature changes the physical adsorption process to chemisorption.

Vat dark blue BO simulated wastewater was treated by Dissovled air flolation (DAF), the interaction of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and precipitate in the DAF process was investigated by thermodynamic methods. The adsorption isotherms of SDS on precipitate at pH 5.00 were determined at 30,35,40 and 45°C. The isosteric heat of sorption was calculated by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The results show that the isotherm of SDS on coagulation precipitate is not the normal style, the adsorption of SDS on precipitate is exothermic in nature and the isosteric heat of adsorption decreases with a increase in the equilibrium uptake of SDS on precipitate. The isosteric heat of sorption varies between-16.266 and-21.719kJ/mol as surface loading is between 3 and 11 mg/g. The values of isosteric heat of adsorption proves the primary adsorption of SDS on precipitation is physisorption.

Abstract The present work is a revieif of theoretical and experimental study on the adsorption performance of the adsorbent Alumina (Al2O3) used in the adsorption system. An experimental investigation on the equilibrium adsorption isosteres at low pressure (< 1 atm) of working pairs Al2O3/H2O and Al2O3/C2H6O2 is carried out. The isovolume measurement method is adopted in the test setup to directly measure the saturated vapor pressures of working pairs at vapor-liquid equilibrium (dG=0 and dμi=0). Quantity adsorbed is determined from pressure, volume and temperature using gas law. The isosteric heat of adsorption is calculated from the slope of the plot of lnP versus 1/T different amounts of adsorbate onto adsorbent as follows: 0,01 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,03 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,1 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,01 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2; 0,03 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2; 0,1 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2. This study shows that adsorption working pair Al2O3 C2H6O2 has better adsorption performances than those of the A2O3/H2O. Surface acidity! is a most important property! far both adsorption and catalysis and therefore is examined structure of active sites of alumina surface. Thermodynamic parameters such as isosteric heat of adsorption, isosteric enthalpy and entropy of adsorption are critical design variables in estimating the performance and predicting the mechanism of an adsorption process and are also one of the basic requirements for the characterization and optimization of an adsorption process

We present a comparative study of hydrogen gas adsorption experiments on CPO-27–Cu and –Mn. The initial isosteric heat of adsorption in CPO-27–Cu is low for a material containing open metal sites and in contrast to the other members of the CPO-27 series, including the Mn compound.
