Abstract

The adsorption excess isotherms of binary mixtures adsorbed on hard solids were calculated by means of surface tension and contact angle measurements using the Gibbs adsorption isotherm equation. The calculation procedure is described in detail using the authors' own measurements of mixtures containing ethylene glycol(1)/water(2) on Teflon and poly(vinyl chloride), and water(1)/n-propanol(2) on Teflon. On the basis of these results and also from surface tensions and contact angles on hard solids published by other authors, all types of isotherms were found as given for porous adsorbents in the classification of Schay and Nagy. In addition to those, new isotherm types are proposed.
