Abstract

The construction and the properties of a liquid-flow adsorption microcalorimeter are described. The calorimeter is based on the commercially available Calvet-type DAK 1-1 microcalorimeter (USSR), which has been equipped with a flow system consisting of a pump, several sets of heat exchangers and an adsorption cell. The minimum detectable heat effect is 1μW up to a flow rate of 30 cm3/h. Results on the application of the calorimeter to adsorption and desorption processes of nonionic (Triton X-100) and anionic (styrene phosphonic acid) surfactant solutions in water at anα-Al2O3 surface are presented and discussed.
