Isosteric heat of adsorption in liquid-solid equilibria: Theoretical determination and measurement by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry
2009
Gritti, Fabrice | Guiochon, Georges
The isosteric heat of adsorption of a pure compound dissolved in a solution in equilibrium with a solid adsorbent was determined, based on the Gibbs surface excess model. The exact isosteric heat of adsorption differs from the usual value derived from the variation of the Henry's constant with the reciprocal temperature because this procedure assumes ideal behavior of the bulk liquid solution, which, in most cases, is only approximately so. An experimental protocol, based on the determination of the excess adsorption isotherms by combining frontal analysis (for strongly adsorbed components) and spectrometric tracer pulse chromatography (for weakly adsorbed compounds) is proposed. It allows the determination of the exact isosteric heat of adsorption provided that the activity coefficient of the compound in the bulk solution can be explicitly expressed as a function of the bulk liquid composition.
