The declared objective of this book is to provide an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with particular reference to materials of technological importance. The primary aim is to meet the needs of students and non-specialists who are new to surface science or who wish to use the advanced techniques now available for the determination of surface area, pore size and surface characterization. In addition, a critical account is given of recent work on the adsorptive properties of activated carbons, oxides, clays and zeolites. Provides a comprehensive treatment of adsorption at both the gas/solid interface and the liquid/solid interface Includes chapters dealing with experimental methodology and the interpretation of adsorption data obtained with porous oxides, carbons and zeolites Techniques capture the importance of heterogeneous catalysis, chemical engineering and the production of pigments, cements, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals

Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids: Principles, Methodology, and Applications, Third Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of adsorption at both the gas/solid interface and the liquid/solid interface, while also covering the application aspects of adsorption. The book gives an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with reference to advanced techniques and applications (including separation of industrial gases and pollution control, catalysis, gas storage) involving materials of technological importance. It is primarily written for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers, researchers, and practitioners in physical chemistry, materials science, surface science, and chemical engineering.The book's primary aim is to meet the needs of students and non-specialists who are new to surface science or who wish to use the advanced techniques now available for the determination of surface area, pore size and surface characterization. In addition, for this fully updated third edition, a critical account is given of the most recent work on the adsorptive properties of activated carbons, oxides, clays, zeolites, and MOF’s.

The 7th International Symposium on the Characterization of Porous Solids (COPS-VII) was held in the Congress Centre in Aix-en-Provence between the 25th-28th May 2005. The symposium covered recent results of fundamental and applied research on the characterization of porous solids. Papers relating to characterization methods such as gas adsorption and liquid porosimetry, X-ray techniques and microscopic measurements as well as the corresponding molecular modelling methods were given. These characterization methods were shown to be applied to all types of porous solids such as clays, carbons, ordered mesoporous materials, porous glasses, oxides, zeolites and metal organic frameworks.* 36 oral presentations and 166 posters and around 230 guests from 27 countries. * A large part of this symposium was devoted to the use computational methods to characterise porous solids
