The analysis is thus relatively exact for heterogeneous surfaces and is especially valuable for analyzing changes in an adsorbent following one or another treatment. An example is shown in Fig. XVII-24 [160]. This type of application has also been made to carbon blacks and silica-alumina catalysts [106a]. House and Jaycock [161] compared the Ross-Olivier [55] and Adamson-Ling... 

Aluminium oxide. The commercial material, activated alumina, is made from aluminium hydroxide it will absorb 15-20 per cent, of its weight of water, can be re-activated by heating at 175° for about seven hours, and does not appreciably deteriorate with repeated use. Its main application is as a drying agent for desiccators. 

Application of Snyder s theory of linear chromatographic adsorption (171) gives the variation in adsorption energy of the thiazole nitrogen atom as a function of this steric hindrance for silica and alumina (see Table III-22). These results show that alumina is more sensitive toward steric effects while silica shows a higher selectivity in the case of polar effects.

Applications PSA cycles are used primarily for purification of wet gases and of hydrogen. One of the earhest applications was the original Skarstrom two-bed cycle (adsorption, countercurrent blowdown, countercurrent purge, and cocurrent repressurization) to diy air stream to less than 1 ppm H9O [Skarstrom, ibid.]. Instrument-air diyers stiU use a PSA cy(de similar to Skarstrom s with activated alumina or sihca gel [Armond, in Townsend, The Propei ties and Applications of Zeolites, The Chemical Society, London, pp. 92-102 (1980)]. 

Standard. 40 percent alumina for most applications at moderate temperatures. 

Veiy pure. 70 to 80 percent alumina for high temperatures. Under reciucing conditions the iron in the ceramic is controlling, as it acts as a catalyst and converts the CO to CO9 plus carbon, which results in spalling. The choice among the three t)pes of castables is generally made by economic considerations and the temperature of the application. 

Application of AES to zirconia ceramics has been reported by Moser et al. [2.146]. Elemental maps of Al and Si demonstrate the grain boundary segregation of small impurities of silica and alumina in these ceramics.
