Abstract
Both fugacity and the Lewis–Randall fugacity rule have been incorporated in the vacancy solution and ideal adsorbed solution theories, and in a simplified statistical thermodynamic model, to allow these various approaches to predict adsorption equilibria at elevated pressures. Adsorption equilibrium data for oxygen and nitrogen determined at 273.15, 293.15 and 313.15 K at pressures up to 60 atm have been compared with the values calculated from these models using regression parameters obtained from adsorption isotherms for the pure components. Of these various models, the vacancy solution theory with the Wilson equation and the ideal adsorbed solution theory provided the closest prediction to the experimental data.
