Notes:
Correlations for the adsorption of a binary gas mixture on a heterogeneous adsorbent have been developed for both mobile and immobile models. Experiments determined the form for the expression of the surface heterogeneity, and only one dimensionless constant for the molecular size was required.The correlations were tested by experimental data on the system methane-ethane-silica gel. For the same amount of adsorption the root-mean-square deviation of calculated versus experimental fugacity ranged from 4.1 to 5.2% for methane and from 2.7 to 3.4% for ethane at 5.0, 15.0, 25.0, and 35.0°C. for surface coverage ranging from zero to monolayer and for the complete composition range. The system at these conditions is classified as highly mobile based on examination of spreading pressure curves, both experimental and calculated based on the correlations.
