Significant Structure Theory of Physical Adsorption

  • Published : 1971.10.30

Abstract

A significant structure theory of monolayer physical adsorption is developed. The theory is tested with the adsorptions on graphite of gases Ar, $N_2$, $CHCl_3$, and $CCl_4$. A restricted rotation model is used for the polyatomic molecules $N_2$, $CHCl_3$, and $CCl_4$. The computed isotherms and heats of adsorption are in good agreement with experiment in all cases studied.
