Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A study has been made of the isotherms for krypton and xenon adsorption on activated charcoals with various micropore structures, working over wide intervals of adsorption-space packing and temperature, with inclusion of the critical points.

  2. 2.

    Degrees of adsorption-space packing have been calculated for each of the experiments. The results obtained support the theory of bulk micropore filling, showing inert-gas adsorption to be highest on the charcoal having the lowest value of the B parameter in the adsorption-isotherm equation.

  3. 3.

    The fact that the adsorption isosteres were linear at all temperatures and adsorptions can be considered as an indication that passage from vapor to gaseous adsorption occurs continuously.
