title: Experimental determination of adsorption energies, adsorption isotherms, probability density functions, and lateral molecular interactions on CXHY/CaO systems.
abstract: Reversed-flow gas chromatography (RF-GC) is extended to the measurements of the probability density function for the adsorption energies as well as the differential energies of adsorption due to lateral interactions of molecules adsorbed on different heterogeneous solid surfaces. All these calculations are based on a non-linear adsorption isotherm model as it is well accepted that the linear one is inadequate for substances such as these used in this work. Thus, some new important physicochemical parameters have been obtained for the characterization of the heterogeneous systems studied. The adsorbent used in this study was calcium oxide. The adsorption of many significant hydrocarbons was investigated. With these systematic experiments under conditions which are similar to the atmospheric ones, an extrapolation of the results obtained to "real" atmospheres with a high degree of confidence is possible.
