Summary
One of the most important parameters which decide the peaks resolution in HPLC with the nonmodified adsorbents, is the amount of water which is present on the adsorbent surface. This article tries to show that the change in the adsorption properties of γ-Al2O3 is dependent on the amount of adsorbed water. These changes are shown with the help of adsorption isotherms, isosteric heats of adsorption and adsorption energy distributions. The data is analysed on the bases of Jovanovic equations. It was also found that a relationship exists between the Brockman activity scale and the adsorption isotherm of water on γ-Al2O3.
