Ambiguity in actual amount adsorbed

Adsorption Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

It is demonstrated that various combinations of models describing the adsorbed phase volume and the actual amount adsorbed (AAA) can be used to describe the experimental Gibbsian surface excess isotherm data for adsorption of a pure gas. Thus, the resulting AAA isotherm and the other adsorptive properties estimated by this approach can be ambiguous and artificial.
