Experimental and statistical modeling study of low coverage gas adsorption of light alkanes on meso-microporous silica Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Adsorption properties of linear and branched (C5-C9) alkanes were studied on the mesoporous materials MCM-41, MCM-48, PHTS and SBA-15 in the 75-195 °C temperature range. Adsorption enthalpies at zero coverage and Henry constants were measured by gas phase chromatography. The experimental data was statistically investigated and used for modeling. Quantitative structure activity/property relation models were established relating structural ...
