Exclusion of Molecules from Micropores of Solid Adsorbents

对于混合气体在沸石和活性碳等微孔固体上的吸附，将形成一个包含空间排斥和表面非均质性的理论。该理论包含实验确定的分数排斥常数。除该理论外，还开展了三项基于该理论的其他研究：(1)微孔固体的表征；(2)将该理论扩展到液体混合物的吸附；(3)发展了一种简单、快速的重量分析技术来测量混合物的吸附。这项研究的成功完成将导致吸附理论的重大进步。

A theory encompassing steric exclusion and surface heterogeneity will be formulated for mixed gas adsorption on microporous solids such as zeolites and activated carbon. The theory contains experimentally determined fractional exclusion constants. Besides the theory, three additional studies based on the theory are undertaken: (1) characterization of microporous solids; (2) extension of the theory to adsorption of liquid mixtures; and (3) development of a simple, rapid gravimetric technique for measuring mixture adsorption. Successful conclusion of the study would lead to a major advance in adsorption theory.
