The calorimetric heats of adsorption have been measured for argon at -195°on a series of carbon blacks graphitized at the successively higher temperatures, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2700 °. X-Ray and electron microscope studies reported by Schaeffer, et al., indicate a higher degree of graphitization with increasing temperature of heat treatment; this w-ould result in progressively more homogeneous surfaces within the series. Our experimental results illustrate clearly the change in the shape of the heat-coverage curve with increasing degree of surface homogeneity produced by high temperature heat treatment. These results may be correlated with the stepwise isotherms found by Polley, et al., on the same series of blacks.
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.
