Ahorption I Calorimetry I Kinetics I Metals I SurfacesAdsorption calorimetry, partially combined with thermal desorption spectroscopy and isotope exchange measurements, has been used to study the adsorption and coadsorption of gases on metal films under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. It has proved to be possible to get detailed information on both the primary adsorption step and the consecutive reaction in the adsorbed layer. Adsorption of CO and C 0 2 on Fe are treated as examples with subsequent decomposition reactions. In the case of the coadsorption of CO and O2 and of H2 and CO on Fe the mutual interaction of the gases including replacement processes are studied.E 8177
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
