Abstract
The adsorption isotherms of acetone and methyl ethyl ketone from binary and ternary mixtures in benzene and n-heptane on silica gel were measured. The experimental adsorption data are discussed on the basis of changes of the composition of mixed solvent (benzene + n-heptane) in ternary mixtures. It has been found that the different structures of the surface phase correspond to the system investigated. The marked dependence of the adsorption on the solvent character is demonstrated. For benzene and ternary (ketone + benzene + n-heptane) mixtures a mixed character of the surface phase is observed whose composition is determined by competition of liquid components for silica surface as well as its tendency to complex. Bilayer model of the surface phase gives a good representation of the experimental data for binary systems benzene + ketone.
