How to Calculate and Solve for Surface Coverage Area of Adsorbate | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 9, 2021
The image above represents surface coverage area of adsorbate.
To compute for surface coverage area of adsorbate, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Avogadro’s Number (NA) and Surface Excess or Absorption Density (Γ).
The formula for calculating surface coverage area of adsorbate:
A = 1 x 1020/NA x Γ
Where:
A = Surface Coverage Area of Adsorbate
NA = Avogadro’s Number
Γ = Surface Excess or Absorption Density
Let’s solve an example;
Find the surface coverage area of adsorbate when the avogadro’s number is 6.023E23 and the surface excess or absorption density is 12.
This implies that;
NA = Avogadro’s Number = 6.023E23
Γ = Surface Excess or Absorption Density = 12
A = 1 x 1020/NA x Γ
A = 1 x 1020/(6.023e+23) x (12)
A = 1 x 1020/7.227e+24
A = 0.0000138
Therefore, the surface coverage area of adsorbate is 0.0000138 m².
