Progress in Predicting the Equilibria of Multi-component Gas/Solid Adsorption

Studies on the equilibrium of multi-component gas/solid adsorption are of great importance because a sophisticated theory has not yet been established although the theory has great application potential for separation technology. The recent developments in this area were reviewed. Theories and models that are applicable to the mixture of sub-critical gases were presented and commented first, then the problems encountered in applying these theories to mixtures containing supercritical components were discussed.
