Abstract
The thermodynamic functions of gas-solid adsorption and liquid-solid immersion are summarized on a literature basis. For adsorption, the isosteric and calorimetric methods are compared; for immersion, the Gibbs free energy of adhesion as a function of relative pressure is introduced. The thermodynamic functions reported are enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and entropy of adsorption, immersion and adhesion. All the formulae given contain only those values that result from adsorption, immersion, contact angle or surface tension of the liquids measurements. Interrelations between the thermodynamic functions of adsorption, immersion and adhesion are also given. They permit cross checks and substitution of measurements, e.g., of immersion for adsorption measurement. Typical values are reported and plots of some thermodynamic functions versus coverage are discussed with respect to height and decrease of the powder-adsorptive interaction with layer thickness.
