Thermodynamic properties of Xenon storage system under adsorption condition by Koh, Darren Shi Hao

“…Therefore, an alternative method of using adsorptive separation through Metal Organic Framework is explored and studied for the effective extraction of Xenon (Xe) noble gas. To facilitate a better understanding of the adsorption process involving a Xenon and MOF system beyond the scope of adsorption isotherms and pore size distribution, the thermodynamic properties of entropy and enthalpy are derived alongside properties such as specific heat capacity and isosteric heat of adsorption. …”
