Research accomplishments during the report period include the following: (1) Correlation of adsorption isotherms of three hydrocarbon gases on activated carbon. (2) Application of two predictive methods to the adsorption equilibria of ethane and propane gas mixtures on activated carbon. (3) Determination of pore volume of activated carbon from the adsorption isotherms of light hydrocarbons. (4) Studies of adsorption potentials of eight light hydrocarbon gases on crosslinked polystyrene. (5) Calculation of diffusion coefficients of methane, ethane, and acetylene adsorbed on crosslinked polystyrene by moment analysis. (6) Separation of the free-volume effect in the thermodynamics of gas-liquid chromatography.
