Course content
Theory of adsoption forces - physisorption and chemisorption, kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption on solid surfaces, theory of adsorption equilibrium - monolayer adsorption, theory of adsorption equilibrium - multilayer adsorption, capillary condensation, Volumetry/manometry, gravimetry, chromatography and spectroscopic methods of adsorbed amount determination - apparatuses and principles of measurement, temperature programmed techniques - theory of non-isothermal methods, evaluation of surface area and porosity of materials, technical use of adsorption - separation and purification of substances

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
Enhance and improve knowledge of students on adsorption phenomenon, theoretical description of these processes and experimental methods of adsorption study are the main aims of the course. Students will have possibilities to work with real experimental data, they will make data processing for determination of surface areas, texture of solids and physical and chemical properties of adsorption centers.
Student will obtain overview about theory of adsorption forces and equilibrium and, in addition, instrumental techniques exploited in measurement and study of surface phenomenons. Graduation of this course is basic presumption for study of other courses of both study program Technical physical chemistry and other specialization like inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry.
Prerequisites
Student must pass out bachelor degree and evidence basic knowledge of physical chemistry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Exam is oral. Basic form of exam is discussion of choice topics. Knowledge, conceptions and application skills are examined. Knowledge is check up by solution of theoretical and numerical problems during semester.
