The adsorption of methanol on hydrophilic, hydrophobic and mixed silicas
Abstract
The adsorption isotherms for methanol on hydrophilic and hydrophobic Aerosil, and on a solid mixture of both, are used to show that the effect of the hydrophobicity on the well known interaction between alcohols and the surface of silica manifests itself not on the energetic, but on the geometric characteristics of adsorption.
