Reference characteristics

The characteristic isotherm concept was elaborated by de Boer and coworkers [90]. By accepting a reference from a BET fit to a standard system and assuming a density for the adsorbed film, one may convert n/rim to film thickness t. The characteristic isotherm for a given adsorbate may then be plotted as t versus P/P. For any new system, one reads t from the standard r-curve and n from the new isotherm, for various P/P values. De Boer and co-work-ers t values are given in Table XVII-4. A plot of t versus n should be linear if the experimental isotherm has the same shape as the reference characteristic isotherm, and the slope gives E ... 

The father of the subject is F. Williams, because he was the first to devise how to obtain kp+ values from rate measurements on the polymerisation of an alkene (cyclopentadiene) by ionising radiation (Bonin et al., 1965), and he wrote what is still the most comprehensive and critical account of a difficult subject (Williams, 1968). He refers characteristically to .. . an alarming number of misinterpretations and errors. .. . Other, shorter, expositions have been given by Metz (1968), Hayashi (1971,1980) and Stannett and Silverman (1983). 

After this test, the valve is tested again on a normal test bench to verify that the various pressure reference characteristics have not drifted from the original testing, which could indicate deformations due to thermal expansions or contractions. 

Anxiety and panic attacks may be associated with high doses of cocaine. These effects may be associated with paranoid ideation, visual and tactile hallucinations (called formication) and visual pseudohallucinations (seeing snow lights). Ideas of reference, characteristic of stimulant psychosis, also occur. 

This paper aims at presenting the results of the potential theory applied to high pressure and high temperature adsorption data for both sub and supercritical fluids. We used two different procedures for the calculation of the reference characteristic curve The first one is based on the works by Ozawa, Agarwal and Dubinin The second one is based on the works by Dhima and Neimark. The second method leads to satisfactory results as it is possible to obtain a unique characteristic curve but it requires the revision of the classical laws relating the characteristic curve to the structural properties of the adsorbent Using this procedure, it has been possible to point out the influence of the buoyancy effect on the adsorbed phase for the high pressure data and to propose a method to correct it... 

The potential theory has been widely used in the last decades Such a success is mainly due to the predictive character of this method Once v f, f, and (3 are known, it is possible to calculate any isotherm if the reference characteristic curve of the adsorbent is known. A lot of research teams have tried to improve the initial theory by proposing different correlations for the determination of v> [15,16,17] The calculation of Ps and thus f, for supercritical fluids is another problem which has been much debated [18,19,20] Besides, it is possible to relate the reference characteristic curve to the porous structure of the adsorbent so that the theoretical treatments are very ofen used as characterization methods The way the mathematical expression of the reference characteristic curve can be related to the micropore size distribution function of the adsorbent has also been widely discussed in the literature [4,5,6] In this paper we consider two different methods for the calculation of v, and f ... 

The reference characteristic curves have been used to calculate the structural properties of the adsorbent. First of all, we applied a classical Dubinin-Radushkevich treatment (In V versus... 

The adsorption isotherms have been treated using the first method. Using equations 1, 2 and 3 to calculate V and Srcf (the reference adsorbate is N2) and equations 4, 5, 6 and the R-K-S eos for the calculation of Va, f and f, we obtained the reference characteristic curve. It is presented in figure 1.

The behavior of (Cp, exp( Ciat(T)) for TmCl2 casts doubts on the reliability of the experimental data reported for D)KZ l2 and YbCl2, which were processed to obtain the reference characteristic parameter values for dichlorides of this structural group. Indeed, the following circumstance indirectly leads us toward the same conclusion.
