Impedance Spectroscopy

  • Chapter

Abstract

The physical principles and basic experimental techniques of impedance spectroscopy, i. e. static or frequency dependent dielectric permittivity measurements of sorbent/sorbate systems are given. These measurements can be used to characterize the state of a sorbent material in industrial adsorption processes. Combined with either manometric or gravimetric measurements of adsorption equilibria leading to calibration curves, permittivity measurements also allow fairly simple and quick measurements of gas adsorption equilibria. Kinetic processes and catalytic reactions inside a sorbent/sorbate system also can be observed. Pros and cons of dielectric measurements are discussed. List of Symbols. References.
