Description
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 account is given of recent work on the adsorptive properties of activated carbons, oxides, clays and zeolites.
Provides an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with particular reference to advanced techniques and applications including activated carbons, separation of industrial gases and pollution control
About the Author
Jean Rouquerol is the former Director of the CNRS Thermodynamics and Microcalorimetry Center in Marseilles, France and is now Emeritus Director of Research at the MADIREL Laboratory, Aix-Marseille University, France. He is a leading authority on adsorption thermodynamics, thermal analysis methodology and adsorption calorimetry. Francoise Rouquerol leads a Research team at the Centre de Thermodynamique et de Microcalorimetrie and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Marseille, France. She is also a Senior Professor at the University of Provence, France. Philip Llewellyn was Team Leader at MADIREL Laboratory, France until 2020; he is now CCUS R&D Program Manager for TotalEnergie in Pau, France. He is a renowned scientist in gas adsorption and its applications. Guillaume Maurin is a Professor and Team Leader at the Institut Charles Gerhart of Montpellier, University of Montpellier, France. He is an internationally recognized in the field of molecular simulations applied to the adsorption in porous solids. Kenneth Sing (1925-2016) was an Emeritus Professor at Brunel University and Visiting Professor at Bristol University, both in the UK. He was an influential figure in colloid and surface science and was co-author of the well-known book Adsorption, Surface Area and Porosity.
Reviews
"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
