One of the problems encountered in the literature is that the data have been transformed and presented in such a way that it is difficult, if not impossible, to unscramble the presentation to obtain the original data. Luckily, some can be obtained directly, as is the case with data by Pace et al. [31,32], from original sources, such as PhD dissertations [33,34], or mathematically unwinding it as is the case with information supphed by Harkins and Jura [35].

Experimentally, q is very difficult to measure directly. Attempts to find the partial of ln(P/Pj) with respect to l/Tby measuring the isotherm at two or more temperatures have not been very accurate. This is due to the uncertainty in the shape of the isotherm compared to the precision that is acceptable. Direct calorimetric measurements have been more successful. Calorimetric measurements are more precise but they measure the integral heat of adsorption, Q, and the molar heat of adsorption, Q, as defined by Morrison et al. [17]. Another quantity, the integral energy of adsorption, Q, was defined by Hill [18,19] for constant volume conditions. These quantities can be obtained with more accuracy and precision than the isosteric heat. Nevertheless, the isosteric heat is often reported.

The partial molar entropy of adsorption AI2 may be determined from q j or qsi through Eq. XVII-118, and hence is obtainable either from calorimetric heats plus an adsorption isotherm or from adsorption isotherms at more than one temperature. The integral entropy of adsorption can be obtained from isotherm data at more than one temperature, through Eqs. XVII-110 and XVII-119, in which case complete isotherms are needed. Alternatively, AS2 can be obtained from the calorimetric plus a single complete adsorption isotherm, using Eq. XVII-115. This last approach has been recommended by Jura and Hill [121] as giving more accurate integral entropy values (see also Ref. 124). 

They are defined in complete analogy to the integral molar energy. The difference between the energy and the enthalpy of adsorption is usually small. If we treat the free gas as being ideal, the difference is AadU = AadHm1 + RT. At 25°C RT is only 2.4 kJ/mol. For this reason we do not need to worry too much about whether a heat of adsorption is the adsorption enthalpy or the internal adsorption energy, if we only want to estimate is. 

Let us now consider how these quantities are related to experimentally determined heats of adsorption. An essential factor is the condition under which the calorimetric experiment is carried out. Under constant volume conditions, AadU 1 is equal to the total heat of adsorption. In such an experiment a gas reservoir of constant volume is connected to a constant volume adsorbent reservoir (Fig. 9.3). Both are immersed in the same calorimetric cell. The total volume remains constant and there is no volume work. The heat exchanged equals the integral molar energy times the amount of gas adsorbed ...

In flow microcalorimetry a small amount of filler is put into the cell of the calorimeter and the probe molecule passes through it in an appropriate solvent. Adsorption of the probe results in an increase of temperature and the integration of the area under the signal gives the heat of adsorption [98]. This quantity can be used for the calculation of the reversible work of adhesion according to Eq. (16). The capabilities of the technique can be further increased if a HPLC detector is attached to the microcalorimeter. The molar heat of adsorption can also be determined with this setup.

An example of such a practice is shown in Figure 13 for a mixture of 4.5 mg of an active carbon and 0.230 mg of sand, the volume of the mixture being sufficient to fill the FMC adsorption cell (0.17 cc). Even with this small amount of the active carbon the adsorption of water vapour could only be completed in about 20 hours, the bulk of the heat evolution taking some 7 hours. The integral molar heat of water adsorption amounted to 70 kJmolmuch higher than the heat of water vapour liquefaction, indicating that the state of the adsorbed water is very different from that of bulk water.
