How to Calculate and Solve for Volume Measured of Gas Adsorbed | BET Adsorption Isotherm | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 10, 2021
The image above represents volume measured of gas adsorbed.
To compute for volume measured of gas adsorbed, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Monolayer Maximum Volume Uptake (Vm), c and Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio (x).
The formula for calculating volume measured of gas adsorbed:
V = Vmcx/(1 – x) (1 + (c – 1)x)
Where:
V = Volume Measured of Gas Adsorbed | BET Adsorption Isotherm
Vm = Monolayer Maximum Volume Uptake
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio
Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume measured of gas adsorbed when the monolayer maximum volume update is 2, c is 4 and the gas to vapour pressure ratio is 6.
This implies that;
Vm = Monolayer Maximum Volume Uptake = 2
c = 4
x = Gas to Vapour Pressure Ratio = 6
V = Vmcx/(1 – x) (1 + (c – 1)x)
V = (2)(4)(6)/(1 – 6)(1 + (4 – 1)6)
V = 48/(-5)(1 + (3)6)
V = 48/(-5)(1 + 18)
V = 48/(-5)(19)
V = 48/-95
V = -0.505
Therefore, the volume measured of gas absorbed is -0.505m³ .
