Chapter 4 VOLUMETRIC – GRAVIMETRIC MEASUREMENTS Abstract Combined volumetric and gravimetric measurements allow one to determine the coadsorption equilibria of binary gas mixtures without sorptive gas analysis, i. e. without using a gas chromatograph or mass spectrometer. The experimental setup, a basic theory and several examples of this method are presented. Two modifications of it, namely densimetric – gravimetric and densimetric - volumetric measurements are outlined. These especially are suited to do quick but still accurate measurements of binary coadsorption equilibria for industrial process control and / or design. These methods also can be used to measure adsorption of gases and vapors on walls of vessels, tubes or surfaces of any other solid materials. List of symbols. References. 1. INTRODUCTION Volumetric / manometric measurements, Chap. 2, and gravimetric measurements, Chap. 3, can be performed simultaneously on the same gas adsorption system in a single instrument. For pure gas adsorption this will not lead to basically new information on the system as both methods lead to the same result, i. e. the reduced mass of the adsorbate phase, cp. Eqs. (2.4) and (3.5). However, for binary gas mixture adsorptives these measurements allow one to determine the masses of both components of the adsorbate without analyzing the (remnant) adsorptive gas mixture, i. e. without needing a gas chromatograph or a mass spectrometer. Measurements of this type seem to have been performed first in the authors’ group in 1989 and published in 1990, cp. [4.1-4.3], [2.20], [3.20, 3.22] for and gas mixtures at ambient temperature up to pressures of 12 MPa. In fact this method can be used for any binary gas adsorptive with non-isomeric components, i. e. components with different molecular masses. Meanwhile this method has been commercialized by BEL – Japan, Osaka, with this company offering a fully
