Abstract

Abstract The study of iodine adsorption on carbon black samples was made using inverse liquid chromatographic frontal analysis (ILC). Unlike HPLC supports, the efficiency of the chromatographic column filled with a carbon black designed for rubber applications is low. Then the front boundaries of a non-adsorbed molecule, like heavy water (D2O) or acetone, was taken as reference for the calculation of the desorption isotherms. The monolayer capacity of adsorption, Langmuir's and Henry's constants were determined from the desorption isotherms. It was observed that 40% of the surface of the studied carbon black corresponds to a phenomenon of irreversible adsorption of the probe, and that the ILC also highlighted the heterogeneity of the studied carbon black. The adsorption energy distribution functions of iodine obtained by this method are similar to those which were already determined by IGC-FC with the heptane -like probe. The differences in behaviors between two families of carbon black could be attributed to the surface roughness.
