How to Calculate and Solve for Volume of Gases due to Coverage | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on December 10, 2021
The image above represents volume of gases due to coverage.
To compute for volume of gases due to coverage, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas (Vm) and Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed (θ).
The formula for calculating volume of gases due to coverage:
V = Vmθ
Where:
V = Volume of Gases due to Coverage
Vm = Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas
θ = Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume of gases due to coverage when the assumed total volume coverage of gas is 24 and the fraction of surface covered by adsorbed is 12.
This implies that;
Vm = Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas = 24
θ = Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed = 12
V = Vmθ
V = (24)(12)
V = 288
Therefore, the volume of gases due to coverage is 288 m³.
Calculating the Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas when the Volume of Gases due to Coverage and the Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed is Given.
Vm = V / θ
Where:
Vm = Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas
V = Volume of Gases due to Coverage
θ = Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed
Let’s solve an example;
Find the assumed total volume coverage of gas when the volume of gases due to coverage is 32 and the fraction of surface covered by adsorbed is 4.
This implies that;
V = Volume of Gases due to Coverage = 32
θ = Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed = 4
Vm = V / θ
Vm = 32 / 4
Vm = 8
Therefore, the assumed total volume coverage of gas is 8.
Calculating the Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed when the Volume of Gases due to Coverage and the Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas is Given.
θ = V / Vm
Where:
θ = Fraction of Surface Covered by Adsorbed
V = Volume of Gases due to Coverage
Vm = Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas
Let’s solve an example;
Find the fraction of surface covered by adsorbed when the volume of gases due to coverage is 44 and the assumed total volume coverage of gas is 11.
This implies that;
V = Volume of Gases due to Coverage = 44
Vm = Assumed Total Volume Coverage of Gas = 11
θ = V / Vm
θ = 44 / 11
θ = 4
Therefore, the fraction of surface covered by adsorbed is 4.
