Abstract
In some aspects, a device may receive measurement data associated with a measurement subject. The device may determine an adsorption isotherm for the measurement subject based on the measurement data. The device may determine a thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject based on the adsorption isotherm. The device may determine a surface area value associated with the measurement subject based on the thermodynamic adsorption capacity. The device may provide an output based on the adsorption capacity or the surface area value associated with the measurement subject.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, measurement data associated with a measurement subject;
- determining, by the device, an adsorption isotherm for the measurement subject based on the measurement data;
- determining, by the device, a thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject based on the adsorption isotherm, wherein the thermodynamic adsorption capacity is different from a geometric adsorption capacity;
- determining, by the device, a thermodynamic surface area value associated with the measurement subject based on the thermodynamic adsorption capacity;
- and
- providing, by the device, an output based on the thermodynamic surface area value associated with the measurement subject.
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive measurement data associated with a measurement subject;
- determine an adsorption isotherm for the measurement subject based on the measurement data;
- determine a thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject based on the adsorption isotherm, wherein the thermodynamic adsorption capacity is different from a geometric adsorption capacity;
- and
- provide an output based on thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive measurement data associated with a measurement subject;
- determine an adsorption isotherm for the measurement subject based on the measurement data;
- determine a thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject based on the adsorption isotherm, wherein the thermodynamic adsorption capacity is different from a geometric adsorption capacity;
- and
- provide an output based on the thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject or a thermodynamic surface area value for the measurement subject that is derived from the thermodynamic adsorption capacity of the measurement subject.
