  2. Chemisorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemisorption

    Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface. Examples include macroscopic phenomena that can be very obvious, like corrosion [clarification needed], and subtler effects associated with heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants are in different pha

  3. Langmuir adsorption model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_adsorption_model

    Thus, the use of alternative probe molecules can often result in different obtained numerical values for surface area, rendering comparison problematic. The model also ignores adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. Experimentally, there is clear evidence for adsorbate–adsorbate interactions in heat of adsorption data.

  4. BET theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BET_theory

    gas molecules only interact with adjacent layers; and; the Langmuir theory can be applied to each layer. the enthalpy of adsorption for the first layer is constant and greater than the second (and higher). the enthalpy of adsorption for the second (and higher) layers is the same as the enthalpy of liquefaction. The resulting BET equation is

  5. Surface reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_reconstruction

    Surface reconstruction refers to the process by which atoms at the surface of a crystal assume a different structure than that of the bulk. Surface reconstructions are important in that they help in the understanding of surface chemistry for various materials, especially in the case where another material is adsorbed onto the surface.

  6. Dissociative adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_adsorption

    Breaking the atomic bonds of the dissociating molecule requires a large amount of energy, thus dissociative adsorption is an example of chemisorption, where strong adsorbate-substrate bonds are created. [1] These bonds can be atomic, ionic or metallic in nature. In contrast to dissociative adsorption, in molecular adsorption the adsorbate stays ...

  7. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    The key assumption used in deriving the BET equation that the successive heats of adsorption for all layers except the first are equal to the heat of condensation of the adsorbate. The Langmuir isotherm is usually better for chemisorption, and the BET isotherm works better for physisorption for non-microporous surfaces.

  8. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Vapor-solid reactions: formation of an inactive surface layer and/or formation of a volatile compound that exits the reactor. [22] This results in a loss of surface area and/or catalyst material. Solid-state transformation : solid-state diffusion of catalyst support atoms to the surface followed by a reaction that forms an inactive phase.

  9. Inner sphere complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_sphere_complex

    Inner sphere complex is a type of surface complex that refers to the surface chemistry changing a water-surface interface to one without water molecules bridging a ligand to the metal ion.
