Abstract
Adsorption equilibria of nitrogen and methane on a mesoporous silica gel were measured over a temperature range from the sub- to the supercritical region. Determination of the compressibility factor shows a significant effect on the experimentally measured isotherms under conditions ρ g/ρ c>0.3. The transition of adsorption mechanisms in passing over the critical temperature was proven by the transformation of isotherms from type II to type I. The characteristic feature of subcritical adsorption was still observed at a temperature 8 K higher than the critical and the critical depletion phenomenon was clearly shown on such an isotherm. The limit quantities defined in different ways for the supercritical adsorption are in reasonable agreement, indicating the existence of an upper limit state of the supercritical adsorbate.
