Molecular adsorption-desorption systems

We are left therefore with a situation that none of the mechanisms proposed can accurately describe the results obtained. In developing a new mechanism that can accommodate the results it is important to use as much of previous mechanisms as possible. As we have shown above, much of what has been proposed is in agreement with the results. However there has been much greater understanding of molecular adsorption/desorption since the publication of the Schwegler-Adkins mechanism. The adsorption of alcohols on Ni(l 11) [12] and our own exchange results show that the 0-H bond is the easiest to break in this system. Therefore the initial adsorption under reaction temperatures will result in the formation of an ethoxy species on the surfaee. Similarly the adsorption of...

Section 4 presents a variety of solid-gas surface processes adsorption, desorption, catalytic reaction, and surface diffusion. Non-ideal behavior of the systems is considered through the effective pair potentials of inter-molecular interactions. A wide circle of experimental data can be described on taking into account a non-ideal behavior of the surrounding medium. 

Fundamental studies on the adsorption of supercritical fluids at the gas-solid interface are rarely cited in the supercritical fluid extraction literature. This is most unfortunate since equilibrium shifts induced by gas phase non-ideality in multiphase systems can rarely be totally attributed to solute solubility in the supercritical fluid phase. The partitioning of an adsorbed specie between the interface and gaseous phase can be governed by a complex array of molecular interactions which depend on the relative intensity of the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions, adsorbate-adsorbate association, the sorption of the supercritical fluid at the solid interface, and the solubility of the sorbate in the critical fluid. As we shall demonstrate, competitive adsorption between the sorbate and the supercritical fluid at the gas-solid interface is a significant mechanism which should be considered in the proper design of adsorption/desorption methods which incorporate dense gases as one of the active phases. 

In neither case was it possible to propose definitive mechanisms due to the complexity of the systems in the 7-alumina study, it is suggested that adsorption-desorption processes are slow relative to rapid dismutation between two adsorbed species [105], while from the chromia study mono-molecular halogen exchange reactions with metal halide surface sites are indicated [38], The latter mechanism is reminiscent of the halogen exchange model proposed [95] for C2 CFCs on fluorinated chromia. 

In these past 10 years, it has been demonstrated that the TR-QELS method is a versatile technique that can provide much information on interfacial molecular dynamics [1-11]. In this chapter, we intend to show interfacial behaviour of molecules elucidated by the TR-QELS method. In Section 3.2, we present the principle, the historical background and the experimental apparatus for TR-QELS. The dynamic collective behaviour of molecules at liquid/liquid interfaces was first obtained by improving the time resolution of the TR-QELS method. In Section 3.3, we present an application of the TR-QELS method to a phase transfer catalyst system and describe results on the scheme of the catalytic reactions. This is the first application of the TR-QELS method to a practical liquid/liquid interface system. In Section 3.4, we show chemical oscillations of interfacial tension and interfacial electric potential. In this way, the TR-QELS method allows us to analyze non-linear adsorption/desorption behaviour of surfactant molecules in the system. 

K characterises molecular adsorption in the monolayer and the multilayer. In Regime II, the retained monolayer undergoes desorption/dechlorination processes and, finally, in Regime III (280 - 450 K) and the reaction of the acetylene intermediate dominates the system behaviour. Each of these reaction regimes is described in more detail below.
