Adsorption Week - Meeting on gas adsorption and characterization of porous materials
On May 14th and 15th, various lectures will be held about static and dynamic gas adsorption for the characterization of innovative novel porous materials. The event will cover the range from characterization to the application of novel porous materials with reference to classic everyday topics of exaust air purification or gas separation processes as well as current research topics. we ar delighted to be able to present inernationally renowned scientists as speakers, above all Prof. Arvind Rajendran (University of Alberta), Prof. Camille Petit (Imperial College London), and Prof. Pantelis Trikalitis (University of Crete).
On May 14th, there will be a poster session. We would like to encourage students and young scientists to take advantage of this opprtunity to present their research. Benefit from the wealth of knowledge of our invited speakers. For your convenience, the lectures will also be available via online stream and as video recording afterward.
We are looking forward to discussion the latest results from the world of sorption with you. More information and registration can be found here.

Successful participation in an international interlab study for providing a reference sorption isotherm for Methane
The Institut für Nichtklassische Chemie e.V. (INC) in Leipzig successfully participate in an interlab study for preparing a reference isotherm for methane under high pressure atmosphere. This interlab study was managed by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology of the U.S. Department of Commerce), with 20 participating institutions from all over the world. The INC first certified its suitability for attending in the study by successfully measuring a CO2 reference isotherm. The subsequent measurement of several sorption isotherms of methane on the NIST reference material RM 88590 (zeolite Y) at 25 °C and up to a pressure of 7.5 MPa results in the provision of a reference isotherm for methane. Details of the work can be found in the literature given below. This contribution shows that the employees of the INC in the field of adsorption have the technical equipment and the necessary know-how to provide excellent thermodynamic data by means of experiments.
