Features

• Formulas for calculating the basic forces or potentials for adsorption
• Calculation of pore-size distribution from a single adsorption isotherm
• Rules for sorbent selection
• Fundamental principles for syntheses/preparation, adsorption properties, and applications of commercially available sorbents
• Mesoporous molecular sieves and zeolites
• Complexation sorbents and their applications
• Carbon nanotubes, pillared clays, and polymeric resins

Adsorbents: Fundamentals and Applications provides a single and comprehensive source of knowledge for all commercial and new sorbent materials, presenting the fundamental principles for their syntheses, their adsorption properties, and their present and potential applications for separation and purification.

The explosion in the development of new nanoporous materials is covered thoroughly. The whole of this book benefits from the new adsorbent designs made possible by the increase in desktop computing and molecular simulation, making it useful to both practicing laboratories and graduate programs. The comprehensive study contributes significantly to the resolution of separation and purification problems by adsorption technologies.
