Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids: Principles, Methodology and Applications 2nd Edition

Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids<$> provides a unique overview of the theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption, with particular reference to the study of the surface properties of materials of technological importance. The book gives:
* an introduction to the relevant aspects of adsorption science
* a critical appraisal of recent developments
* guidance on the determination and interpretation of adsorption data.

The book will appeal to post-graduate students and others who wish to undertake adsorption measurements. For all readers, the book also provides an up-to-date survey of the adsorptive properties of active carbons, oxides, clays and zeolites and some novel adsorbants.

Francoise Rouquerol leads a research team at the CTM (Centre de Thermodynamique et de Microcalorimetrie) du CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique) in Marseille, France. She is also a senior professor at University of Provence.

Jean Rouquerol is Director of the CTM, and a leading authority on adsorption thermodynamics and the methodology of thermal analysis and adsorption calorimetry.
