The selective adsorption from a series of binary solutions on an
organoclay complex has been studied in relation to the gelling ability
of this organoclay. Adsorption isotherms were obtained for a series
of polar organic solvents in toluene. The isotherms were of the usual
"S" or "U" type depending upon...
An apparatus and procedure are described for investigating
selective adsorption from a binary vapor mixture as a function of
pressure. The technique measures both total mass adsorption and
adsorbed-phase composition.
Development of the method is outlined. Possible sources of
error are analyzed and are found to be either nonexistent or...
Ellipsometry was used to study the effects of surface energetics
and temperature on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior exhibited by
β-lactoglobulin. β-Lactoglobulin isotherms at 25, 37, and 55°C were
constructed for this purpose. The surfaces of acrylic, polycarbonate,
polyester, glass, and #304 stainless steel were contacted with protein
solutions of varying...
