Prediction of multicomponent liquid adsorption using excess quantities. II. Calculations for the liquid/solid interface.
The utilization of excess quantities as the basis for a thermodynamic approach can simplify the prediction of multicomponent liquid adsorption from binary data. A new method for predicting liquid adsorption on solids is suggested, which is different from the existing equations with respect to the theoretical background and formulation. The applicability of the new model is tested with three ternary adsorption systems. The predicted surface excesses are discussed and compared with experimental ones and with those of other prediction models in the literature. The accordance between measured and predicted ternary data is convincing.
