The Adsorption Group at the University of Edinburgh is pleased to invite the International Adsorption Community to the Advanced Adsorption Course as part of the Adosorption Research Industrial Consortium (ARIC).

The course will take place in Edinburgh (UK) on February 18-20, 2025.

This Advanced  Course is aimed to PhD students, Researchers and Industrialists willing to gain a deeper insight of the fundamental aspects of adsorption kinetics using macroscopic techniques. It is based on over 30 years of experience in this field and is structured as an intensive 3-day programme including formal lectures, discussion periods and numerical tutorials focusing on gas mass transport kinetics from the fundamental to the practical guidelines on the most common experimental techniques and the analysis and interpretation of kinetic responses.

The first day will introduce the definition of the different mechanisms of mass transport in porous and nanoporous materials along with the structure of the models that describe adsorption uptake kinetics. The second day will cover in great details aspects of gravimetric and volumetric measurements. The final day will be devoted to flow systems and in particular zero length column and breakthrough experiments.  

The course builds on the introductory material of EESA 2024 and provides a deep dive into more advanced topics based on more than 30 years of experience. It will include examples on how to and how not to carry out and analyse dyamic adsorption experiments. For an overview of the range of experimental techniques please see an example of flow systems and our adsorption differential volumetric apparatus
