Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids

Principles, Methodology, and Applications

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids: Principles, Methodology, and Applications, Third Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of adsorption at both the gas/solid interface and the liquid/solid interface, while also covering the application aspects of adsorption. The book gives an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with reference to advanced techniques and applications (including separation of industrial gases and pollution control, catalysis, gas storage) involving materials of technological importance. It is primarily written for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers, researchers, and practitioners in physical chemistry, materials science, surface science, and chemical engineering. The book's 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, for this fully updated third edition, a critical account is given of the most recent work on the adsorptive properties of activated carbons, oxides, clays, zeolites, and MOF’s.

Rezensionen

"An introductory chapter summarizes relevance, history, and terminology of adsorption, including chemisorption vs. physisorption, and discusses energetics, molecular modeling, and diffusion. The following chapters treat thermodynamics at a gas/solid and solid/liquid interfaces, measurement and monitoring technique, isotherm theory and interpretation, mathematical modeling of adsorption processes, and use of adsorption to measure surface area and porosity of materials." --ProtoView.com, January 2014

Review of first edition:
"A long-awaited but worthy successor to the book considered by many to be the bible of porous materials characterization: 'Gregg & Sing' (2nd Edition, 1982). This collaboration between the Rouquerols and Ken Sing has created a detailed handbook covering not only important theoretical aspects, but copious experimental and application information too. Adsorption calorimetry gets more attention than before (not surprising given the Rouquerols' affiliation), as do 'new' materials such as MCM's and 'new' calculation models like DFT (Density Functional Theory) and Monte Carlo simulation. Importantly, there is a great deal of coverage given to adsorptives other than nitrogen (the most common but not necessarily the most appropriate in all cases). Hundreds of references are given for follow-up reading in areas of special interest. Anyone seeking a reliable, broad, yet highly informative coverage of adsorption methodology for porous materials characterization should invest in this title." --Worthy Successor by "thomasetc" (USA), June 2000, Amazon.com
