Conclusions
-
1.
To obtain the basic functions of the thermodynamics of Sorption equilibrium there is no need to separate the entire sorbate into gas and sorption phases.
-
2.
The thermodynamics of sorption equilibrium can be represented as the result of replacement of the variables in the thermodynamic functions for a cylinder filled with gas and closed with a piston, within which the sorbent is included.
-
3.
The method of replacement of variables makes the relationship of functions of the type of Clausius-Clapeyron and Kirchhoff formulas, used in the thermodynamics of sorption, to the axioms of thermodynamics more graphic, and also permits a refinement of the thermodynamic meaning of these functions.
