Zusammenfassung: | Given an experimental solid/solution sorption isotherm, how can we gain insight into the underlying sorption mechanism on a molecular basis? Classifying sorption isotherms, for both completely and partially miscible solvent/sorbate systems, has been useful, yet the molecular foundation of these classifications remains speculative. Isotherm models, developed predominantly for solid/gas sorption, have been adapted to solid/solution isotherms, yet how their parameters should be interpreted physically has long remained ambiguous. To overcome the inconclusiveness, we establish in this paper a universal theory that can be used for interpreting and modeling solid/solution sorption. This novel theory shares the same theoretical foundation (i.e., the statistical thermodynamic fluctuation theory) not only with solid/gas sorption but also with solvation in liquid solutions and solution nonidealities. The key is the Kirkwood-Buff χ parameter, which quantifies the net self-interaction (i.e., solvent-solvent and sorbate-sorbate interactions minus solvent-sorbate interaction) via the Kirkwood-Buff integral in the same manner as the solvation theory and, unlike the Flory χ, is not limited to the lattice model. We will demonstrate that the Kirkwood-Buff χ is the key not only to isotherm classification but also to generalizing our recent statistical thermodynamic gas (vapor) isotherm, which is capable of fitting most of the solid/solution isotherm types |
