Van der Waals Equations of State. A logical step to take next is to consider equations of state that contain both a covolume term and an attractive force term, such as the van der Waals equation. De Boer [4] and Ross and Olivier [55] have given this type of equation much emphasis. 

Ross and Olivier [55], in their extensive development of the van der Waals equation of state model have, however, provided a needed balance to the Langmuir picture. 

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...

Heterogeneity Adsorbents and ion exchangers can be physically and chemically heterogeneous. Although exceptions exist, solutes generally compete for the same sites. Models for adsorbent heterogeneity have been developed for both discrete and continuous distributions of energies [Ross and Olivier, On Physical Adsorption, Interscience, New York, 1964 Jaroniec and Madey, Rudzinsld and Everett, gen. refs.]. 

Small amounts of amyl alcohol have been purified by esterifying with p-hydroxybenzoic acid, recrystallising the ester from CS2, saponifying with ethanolic-KOH, drying with CaS04 and fractionally distilling [Olivier Reel Trav Chim Pays-Bas 55 1027 1936],... 

One important direetion of study has been to use empirieal adsorption data, together with the preassumed model for loeal adsorption, and attempt to extraet information about the form of x(e) [13,14]. The ehoiee of the model for loeal adsorption, whieh is an important input here, has been eustomarily treated quite easually, assuming that it has rather limited influenee on the form and properties of the evaluated EADFs. Usually, one of so many existing equations developed for adsorption on uniform surfaees is used as the loeal adsorption isotherm. The most often used forms of 0 p, T,e) are the Langmuir [6] and the Fowler-Guggenheim [15] equations for loealized adsorption. Ross and Olivier [4] extensively used the equation for mobile adsorption, whieh results from the two-dimensional version of the van der Waals theory of fluids. The most radieal solution has been...
