A new method for determination of vapour sorption isotherms using a twin double microcalorimeter
(1996) In Thermochimica Acta 271. p.179-187- Abstract
- A new twin heat conduction microcalorimeter for the study of vapour sorption isotherms, sorption enthalpies and the kinetics of sorption has been developed. Each calorimeter has two calorimetric vessels which are connected by a steel tube. The upper vessel (a vaporization chamber) is charged with a vapour forming liquid and the lower vessel (a sorption chamber) contains the sorbent sample. An identical double calorimeter serves as a reference. During a measurement, the liquid in the upper vessel will vaporize and is allowed to diffuse to the sorption vessel. Thermal powers of vaporization and sorption are measured separately. The rate of vapour flow is obtained from a known value for the enthalpy of vaporization. Assuming equilibrium... (More)
