Abstract

An equilibrium equation for pure component adsorption is compared to experiments and to the vacancy solution theory. The investigated equilibrium equation is a special case of a model for prediction of multicomponent adsorption equilibria.The vacancy solution theory for multicomponent systems requires binary experimental data for determining the interaction parameters of the Wilson equation; thus a large number of experiments are needed. The multicomponent equilibria model which is investigated for single component systems in this work is based on pure component data only. This means that the requirement for experimental data is reduced significantly.The two adsorption models are compared, using experimental pure gas adsorption data found in literature. The results obtained by the models are in close agreement for pure component equilibria and they give a good description of the experimental data. This indicates that the method based solely on pure component data may be adequate for prediction of multicomponent adsorption equilibria.
