Example Heterogeneous Catalytic Reaction Process The long journey for reactant molecules to. travel within gas phase . cross gas-liquid phase boundary. travel within liquid phase/stagnant layer. cross liquid-solid phase boundary. reach outer surface of solid. diffuse within pore. arrive at reaction site. be adsorbed on the site and activated. react with other reactant molecules, either
being adsorbed on the same/neighbour sites or approaching from surface above
Product molecules must follow the same track in the reverse direction to return to gas phase
Heat transfer follows similar track

Adsorption Adsorption is a process in which molecules from gas (or liquid) phase land
on, interact with and attach to solid surfaces. The reverse process of adsorption, i.e. the process in which adsorbed
molecules escape from solid surfaces, is called Desorption. Molecules can attach to surfaces in two different ways because of the
different forces involved. These are Physisorption (Physical adsorption) & Chemisorption (Chemical adsorption)

Adsorption processAdsorbent and adsorbate Adsorbent (also called substrate) - The solid that provides surface for adsorption
high surface area with proper pore structure and size distribution is essential good mechanical strength and thermal stability are necessary
Adsorbate - The gas or liquid substances which are to be adsorbed on solid
Surface coverage, The solid surface may be completely or partially covered by adsorbed molecules
Adsorption heat Adsorption is usually exothermic (in special cases dissociated adsorption can be
endothermic) The heat of chemisorption is in the same order of magnitude of reaction heat;
the heat of physisorption is in the same order of magnitude of condensation heat.

Applications of adsorption process Adsorption is a very important step in solid catalysed reaction processes
Adsorption in itself is a common process used in industry for various purposes Purification (removing impurities from a gas / liquid stream) De-pollution, de-colour, de-odour Solvent recovery, trace compound enrichment etc…
Usually adsorption is only applied for a process dealing with small capacity The operation is usually batch type and required regeneration of saturated adsorbent
Common adsorbents: molecular sieve, active carbon, silica gel, activated alumina.
Physisorption is an useful technique for determining the surface area, the pore shape, pore sizes and size distribution of porous solid materials (BET surface area)

NomenclatureSubstrate or adsorbent: surface onto which adsorption can occur.
example: catalyst surface, activated carbon, alumina Adsorbate: molecules or atoms that adsorb onto the substrate.
example: nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, waterAdsorption: the process by which a molecule or atom adsorb onto a surface of substrate.Coverage: a measure of the extent of adsorption of a specie onto a surface
Exposure: a measure of the amount of gas the surface had been exposed to ( 1 Langmuir = 10-6 torr s)

Types of Adsorption Modes
Physical adsorption orphysisorption
Chemical adsorption orchemisorption
Bonding between molecules andsurface is by weak van der Waalsforces.
Chemical bond is formed betweenmolecules and surface.

Characteristics of Chemi- and Physisorptions
Chemisorption
virtually unlimited range
wide range (40-800 kJmol-1)

Sticking Coefficient
S = f() exp(-Ea/RT)where 0 < S < 1
S also depends on crystal planes and may be influenced by surface reconstruction.
