Adsorption of gases on solids(focus on physisorption)

Adsorption
• Solid surfaces show strong affinity towards gas molecules that it comes in contact with and some amt of them are trapped on the surface
• the process of trapping or binding of molecules to the surface is called adsorption
• Desorption is removal of these gas molecules from the surface

Adsorption• Two types of adsorption
– Physical adsorption : generally a molecule is physisorbed if the bond energy is less than 10 kcal/mole
– Chemical adsorption : chemisorbed if bond energy is more than 10 kcal /mole
• In chemisorption there is a direct chemical bond involved while Vander waals forces are responsible for physical bonding
PHYSISORPTION : CHEMISORPTION
“physical” bond : chemical bond

Isotherm
• Isotherm is an equation which relates the amt of substance attached to the surface to its concentration in the gas phase at a fixed temperature.
• Langmuir: for monolayer adsorption• BET : for multilayer

Langmuir
• This simplest physically plausible isotherm is based on three assumptions:
• 1. Adsorption cannot proceed beyond monolayer coverage.• 2.All surface sites are equivalent and can accommodate, at
most, one adsorbed atom.• 3.The ability of a molecule to adsorb at a given site is
independent of the occupation of neighboring sites.• The dynamic equilibrium is• A(g)+M(surface) ↔AM(surface)
![Page 18: Adsorption of Gases on Solids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55cf9984550346d0339dc50c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Langmuir adsorptionRate of adsorption = collision rate { P/(2pmkT)0.5 } X probability of finding a suitable site f(Θ) X prob of being in correct orientation κ X probability of overcoming the adsorption barrier exp(-Ea /RT) (this may be 1 if there is no barrier, e.g.physisorption)
f(Θ) is dependant on the type of adsorption:
(1- Θ) if the adsorbate requires a vacant site
(1- Θ)2 if the adsorbate requires two vacant sites (e.g. dissociativeadsorption).
![Page 19: Adsorption of Gases on Solids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55cf9984550346d0339dc50c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Langmuir adsorption
Rate of desorption = rate constant k = A exp(-Ed /RT) X coverage term g(θ)
g(θ) tells us the kinetic order of desorption:
= 1 zero order -constant coverage, e.g. a solid or multilayer film,
= θ first order -adsorbate remains intact ,
= θ2 second order -adsorbate recombines during desorption.
![Page 20: Adsorption of Gases on Solids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55cf9984550346d0339dc50c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
langmuir adsorption
Hence if ra = rd at eqm ,
P = (2pmkT)0.5 (A/k) {g(θ)/f(θ)} exp(Ea -Ed )/RT
Ea -Ed is just the heat of adsorption, q
For non-dissociative (Langmuir) adsorption with no multilayerformation g(θ)=θ and f(θ)=(1-θ),
giving P =θ / b (1-θ)
where 1/b = (2pmkT)0.5 (A/k) exp(-q)/RT
