Determination of the adsorbed phase volume and its application in isotherm modeling for the adsorption of supercritical nitrogen on activated carbon
Experimental excess adsorption isotherms of nitrogen on activated carbon were measured in the range of 103-298 K and pressures up to 10 MPa. A method for determining the volume of the adsorbed phase from the experimental data for the supercritical temperatures was proposed. Such a volume with a new isotherm equation was used in modeling experimental excess isotherms, and a satisfactory fit was achieved,
