Abstract

Abstract A thermodynamic consistency test for adsorption from binary liquid mixtures is derived using the Gibbs equation for adsorption. Adsorption data for the liquid mixture pairs A ‐ B , A ‐ C , and B ‐ C on the same adsorbent must be thermodynamically consistent. The consistency test is applied to experimental data for adsorption from the binary liquid mixtures benzene‐cyclohexane, benzene‐ n ‐heptane and cyclohexane‐ n ‐heptane on silica gel at 30°C.
