چکیده

It is shown that experimentally obtained isotherms of adsorption on solid substrates may be completely reconciled with Lifshitz theory when thermal fluctuations of the free film surface are taken into account. This is demonstrated for hydrogen adsorbed on gold as a model system. Analysis of the fluctuation contributions allows one to determine the surface tension of the free hydrogen film as a function of film thickness. It is found to decrease sharply for film thicknesses below seven atomic layers.

Temperature Dependence of Hydrogen Adsorption Isotherms

In the past it has already been shown that adsorption isotherms of liquid or solid lms are not described completely by the Frenkel Halsey Hill theory. Substrate roughness as well as thermal uctuations have to be taken into account in understanding the adsorption behavior. The inclusion of thermal uctuations into the adsorption theory has already been addressed and proven to provide an explanati...

Investigation of carbon dioxide capture from hydrogen using the thermal pressure swing adsorption process: Central composite design modeling

In this study pre-combustion capture of carbon dioxide from hydrogen was performed using a 5A zeolite adsorber. A one column thermal pressure swing adsorption (TPSA) process was studied in the bulk separation of a CO2/H2 mixture (50:50 vol%). The adsorption dynamics of the zeolite bed were investigated by breakthrough experiments to select the suitable range for operational factors in the desig...

Hydrogen adsorption by g-C3N4 and graphene oxide nanosheets

The adsorption behavior of hydrogen for synthesized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and graphene oxide nanosheets was compared. The structure of the prepared g-C3N4 and graphene oxide samples were studied using TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and surface area analysis. Textural results of the prepared nanosheets show that the surface area, total pore volume, and average internal diameter of g-C3N4 an...
