The literature of
adsorption
It is not the purpose in this chapter to provide comprehensive reviews of all
the literature covering the principles, practices and technology of adsorp-
tion. Instead, an overview is provided of selected and principal sources of
information which can be used to supplement the information provided in
this book. Descriptions of books, and of chapters in handbooks and
encyclopedias, are provided in chronological order, and not in any order of
importance. The descriptions are not intended to be critical reviews. Rather
the intention is to guide the reader towards further information with an
emphasis on the process engineering aspects which cover the full range of
applications in gas, vapour and liquid separations. Since adsorption is still
subject to considerable research worldwide, lists of the more important
journals and symposium proceedings which devote attention to the subject
are provided at the end of this chapter.
Adsorption (C. L. Mantell, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1945)
This early text in the publisher's Chemical Engineering Series was written in
order to correlate the practical, commercial and engineering aspects of
adsorption. Adsorption was considered by the author to be a unit operation
of chemical engineering. A brief chapter on the theories of adsorption is
provided but the remainder of the book addresses practical matters of
