Gas Adsorption on Structurally Heterogeneous Microporous Solids

Abstract
Isotherm equations for gas adsorption on microporous adsorbents are derived for four distribution functions that characterize the structural heterogeneity of the solids. Since these functions represent the size distributions of micropores, they are physically meaningful for describing gas adsorption on heterogeneous microporous solids. Presentation of relationships between the distribution functions describing either structural or energetic heterogeneity of a solid increases the utility of previous distribution functions for characterization of microporous adsorbents.
