APPLICATION OF A THEORY OF BINARY SOLUTION SURFACE TENSION TO ADSORPTION PHENOMENA,

Abstract

A theory of surface tension of binary solutions is extended to apply to adsorption from solutions. Experimental work on the adsorption of several fatty acids from aqueous solutions by Nichrome V powder is presented and the theory is used in the analysis. The theory is also tested with literature data on adsorption from aqueous solutions of aliphatic and aromatic compounds by carbon blacks and graphites. A method for the determination of specific surface areas of adsorbents from solution is presented and applied. (Author)
