SIMULATION OF ADSORPTION AND ABSORPTION PROCESSES BASED ON PHENOMENOLOGICAL THERMODYNAMICS
A. V. Tvardovskii and V. Yu. Yakovlev UDC 541.183 Using the phenomenological-thermodynamics method, we have derived an equation which is one possible form of representation of interphase equilibrium. It has been shown that this equation yields, as particular cases, the well-known equations of Henry, Langmuir, Fowler-Guggenheim, Temkin, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The equation proposed can provide a basis for simulating adsorption and absorption processes in highly diverse systems, including swelling ones.
