Abstract

Adsorption equilibria of pure gases and binary gas mixtures can be measured with a new magnetic suspension balance. For this measurement no additional concentration measurement is required, neither for the gas phase nor for the adsorbed phase. The new instrument allows gravimetric adsorption measurements in a wide range of pressure (UHV...50 MPa) and temperature (210 K...570 K) to be performed. The experimental procedure and the instrument set up is fairly easy and can be compared to pure gas adsorption experiments. The new instrument and experimental procedure have been tested by performing coadsorption measurements with CO/H2 mixtures on a commercial 5A zeolite.
