Description
The declared objective of this book is to provide an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption
by powders and porous solids with particular reference to materials of technological importance. The primary aim is to meet the needs
of students and non-specialists, who are new to surface science or who wish to use the advanced techniques now available for the determination
of surface area, pore size and surface characterization. In addition, a critical account is given of recent work on the adsorptive properties
of activated carbons, oxides, clays and zeolites.
Audience:
Advanced undergraduates, postgrads, researchers, and practitioners in physical chemistry, materials science, surface science, and chemical engineering.
