Theoretical model of adsorption in a templated porous material

We introduce a theoretical description of adsorption in a templated porous material modeled as a quenched binary mixture configuration with one compon ent removed. Using tools from equilibrium statistical mechanics, we analyze the diagrammatic structure of and derive an approximate formula for this n onequilibrium material's porosity and Henry regime selectivity. We find tha t templating significantly increases the porosity as well as the selectivit y for the larger component of a mixture. [S1063-651X(99)51107-0].
