Absorption By Powders And Porous Solids
The declared objective of this book is to provide an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with particular reference to materials of technological importance. The primary aim is to meet the needs of students and non-specialists, who are new to surface science or who wish to use the advanced techniques now available for the determination of surface area, pore size and surface characterization. In addition, a critical...

Adsorption phenomena play a vital role in heterogenous catalysis and in many solid state reactions. Porous adsorbents are widely employed for inter alia gas separation, water treatment and respiratory protection. The laboratory use of adsorption measurements is becoming increasingly important for the characterization of finely divided and porous materials.Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids provides a unique overview of the theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption, with particular reference to the study of the surface properties of materials of technological importance. The book gives:* an introduction to the relevant aspects of adsorption science* a critical appraisal of recent developments* guidance on the determination and interpretation of adsorption data.The book will appeal to post-graduate students and others who wish to undertake adsorption measurements. For all readers, the book also provides an up-to-date survey of the adsorptive properties of active carbons, oxides, clays and zeolites and some novel adsorbants.Francoise Rouquerol leads a research team at the CTM (Centre de Thermodynamique et de Microcalorimetrie) du CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique) in Marseille, France. She is also a senior professor at University of Provence.Jean Rouquerol is Director of the CTM, and a leading authority on adsorption thermodynamics and the methodology of thermal analysis and adsorption calorimetry.Kenneth Sing is an emeritus professor of Brunel University and visiting professor at Bristol University, both in the UK. He is co-author of the well-known book Adsorption, Surface Area and Porosity(Gregg and Sing, 1982, Academic Press. Booknews Overviews the theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption, with particular reference to the study of the surface properties of materials of technological importance. The phenomena play a role in heterogeneous catalysis and many solid-state reactions, and are used in gas separation, water treatment, respiratory protection, and increasingly for characterizing finely divided and porous materials in the laboratory. The Rouquerols, based in Marseille, France, and British Sing also appraise recent developments; offer guidance on determining and interpreting adsorption data; and survey the adsorptive properties of active carbons, oxides, clays, zeolites, and some novel adsorbents.
