Description

Introduction. Sorption of gases by surfaces is the primary step in many heterogeneous processes. Because sorption processes are in general pressure-dependent, and very fast at normal pressures, low pressure system are mandatory. In gas-metal interaction studies the flash filament technique with ribbons and filaments and Wagener's technique with evaporated films allow observations at the requisite low pressures. However, these method have two major drawbacks: (1) Since the pressure changes during the sorption experiment, pressure-dependent parameters can only be obtained from indirect evidence; (2) The pressure change in the sorption cell during the experiment may cause significant interaction between the sample … continued below

Description

Introduction. Sorption of gases by surfaces is the primary step in many heterogeneous processes. Because sorption processes are in general pressure-dependent, and very fast at normal pressures, low pressure system are mandatory. In gas-metal interaction studies the flash filament technique with ribbons and filaments and Wagener's technique with evaporated films allow observations at the requisite low pressures. However, these method have two major drawbacks: (1) Since the pressure changes during the sorption experiment, pressure-dependent parameters can only be obtained from indirect evidence; (2) The pressure change in the sorption cell during the experiment may cause significant interaction between the sample and the rest of the system and thus experimental data must be corrected for this effect. These drawbacks have been eliminated in a new approach based on a flow system in which the sample is exposed to constant pressure. This new technique has been employed for the study of adsorption and absorption of gases by filaments and evaporated films. This method can also be used for studying gas-metal solution equilibria.
