✦ Synopsis

A new approach is developed for applying ideal and real adsorbed solution theory models to the description of multicomponent adsorption equilibria at fixed pressure. This allows ignoring single-component behavior in the Henry's law region, P -0, but introduces new parameters that must be evaluated from binary equilibrium data. Comparisons with various sets of experimental data show that the new approach gives results as good as the classical one, but without requiring knowledge of the single component behavior in the Henry's law region; moreover, it removes the sensitivity to the type of model adopted in fittingsingle-component equilibrium data.
