  2. BET theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BET_theory

    BET model of multilayer adsorption, that is, a random distribution of sites covered by one, two, three, etc., adsorbate molecules. The concept of the theory is an extension of the Langmuir theory, which is a theory for monolayer molecular adsorption, to multilayer adsorption with the following hypotheses:

  3. Langmuir adsorption model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_adsorption_model

    Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) model of multilayer adsorption, that is, a random distribution of sites covered by one, two, three, etc., adsorbate molecules. Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) [18] derived the first isotherm for multilayer adsorption. It assumes a random distribution of sites that are empty or that are covered with by one ...

  4. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    Brunauer, Emmett and Teller's model of multilayer adsorption is a random distribution of molecules on the material surface. Adsorption is the adhesion [1] of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. [2] This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.

  5. Moisture sorption isotherm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sorption_isotherm

    The relationship between water content and equilibrium relative humidity of a material can be displayed graphically by a curve, the so-called moisture sorption isotherm. For each humidity value, a sorption isotherm indicates the corresponding water content value at a given temperature. If the composition or quality of the material changes, then ...

  6. Dissociative adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_adsorption

    This model is the simplest useful approximation that still retains the dependence of the adsorption rate on the coverage, and in the simplest case, precursor states are not considered. For dissociative adsorption to be possible, each incident molecule requires n available adsorption sites, where n is the number of dissociated fragments.

  7. Desorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desorption

    Desorption is the physical process where adsorbed atoms or molecules are released from a surface into the surrounding vacuum or fluid. This occurs when a molecule gains enough energy to overcome the activation barrier and the binding energy that keep it attached to the surface.

  8. Elemental analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_analysis

    At the time, elemental analysis was based on the gravimetric determination of specific absorbent materials before and after selective adsorption of the combustion gases. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Today fully automated systems based on thermal conductivity or infrared spectroscopy detection of the combustion gases, or other spectroscopic methods are used.

  9. Chemisorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemisorption

    Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface. Examples include macroscopic phenomena that can be very obvious, like corrosion [clarification needed], and subtler effects associated with heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants are in different pha
