Abstract: The work reported here deals with the possibilities and the problems of utilization of the experimental sorption data for the estimation of the heat of adsorption. The study is based on the own experimental equilibrium data obtained during the adsorption of n-alkane vapour on a synthetic zeolite surface in a flow stirred adsorber.The relations in a form of adsorption isotherms based on the BET theory and the Jovanovic conception of the adsorption mechanism have been chosen for the estimation of the heat of adsorption from the experimental adsorption equilibrium data.
