ABSTRACT: A complete study of adsorption processes will be less complete if the
structure and dynamics of its different elements and how they interact is not
well captured. Therefore, the extensive study of adsorption thermodynamics in
conjunction with adsorption kinetics is inevitable. Measurable thermodynamic properties such as temperature equilibrium
constant and their non-measurable counterparts such as Gibbs free energy
change, enthalpy, entropy etc. are very important design variables usually
deployed for the evaluation and prediction of the mechanism of adsorption
processes.
