Research accomplishments during the report period include the following: (1) Derivation of a model for a step increase concentration for a linear chromatographic reactor; (2) Measurement of the transmission curves of stable and radioactive argon and correlation of the moments with analytical expressions; (3) Derivation of the enrichment factor for a pressure swing adsorption system; (4) Studies of the interference of binary mixtures; (5) Calculation of the adsorption isotherms and isosteric heats for three hydrogen gases; (6) Derivation of isotherms for heterogeneous surfaces with micropores and/or mesopores; (7) Application of the adsorption potential to describe the adsorption of hydrocarbons on carbon and polystyrene adsorbents; (8) Determination of the isotherms for binary mixtures on polystyrene, and (9) Correlation of binary adsorption data with single-component isotherms.
