Abstract

Methods of calculating the fractal dimension (D) on the basis of single adsorption isotherms were critically tested by using argon composite adsorption isotherms for fractally porous solids. These isotherms were obtained from adsorption data for homogeneous slit-like pores calculated by employing the density functional theory (DFT). The composite adsorption isotherms were used to test the validity of the method based on the Frenkel-Halsey-Hill equation and so called “thermodynamic method” proposed by Neimark. The applicability of these methods was confirmed. However, our studies reveal new aspects of practical usage of both approaches, which need to be taken into consideration in analysis of experimental data.
