Work and heat of adsorption of solutions

Ion-exchange minerals and disposal of radioactive wastes-- A survey of literature

“…Free-energy computations support the accuracy of the derived equilibrium constants. Kiselev (1945) applied Gibb's fundamental equations for bulk phases and surface layers to a study of the work and heat of adsorp-tion. He described the work (and heat) of adsorption from solution as being equal to the sum of the work (heat) of wetting of adsorbent by pure solvent, the work (heat) of adsorption from solution of the solute, and displacement of the solvent by the latter, and work (heat) of dilution of the solution.…”

“…For further discussion on thermodynamics and adsorption, the reader is referred to standard textbooks of thermodynamics and to Bower and others (1957), Flood (1955), "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology" (1953, v. 11, p. 570-585), Jurinak and Bauer (1956), and Kiselev (1946).…”
