Abstract

The fundamental empirical relationships that correlate the adsorption energy with physicochemical parameters of adsorbates are discussed. Based on the experimental data of the adsorption enthalpy of different organic adsorbates on microporous activated carbons some new correlations between adsorption enthalpy and entropy at zero surface coverage and physicochemical parameters of adsorbed molecules are proposed. It is shown that they can be applied for the calculation of carbon porosity. The influence of carbon surface oxidation on its energetic heterogeneity is also discussed.
