Notes:
A Wicke Kallenbach type steady state diffusion experiment was performed for varying concentrations of propionic acid solution through activated carbon pellets. Since surface diffusion is a dominant mechanism, concentration dependence of the surface diffusion coefficient is precisely determined from the change of diffusion flux with concentration. Strong dependence of surface diffusion coefficient on amount adsorbed is partially interpreted in terms of the change of heat of adsorption with surface coverage as determined from separate equilibrium runs.
