Gi. Berezin et al., THERMODYNAMIC INVESTIGATION OF THE STATE OF WATER ADSORBED BY CARBONACEOUS ADSORBENTS, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(3), 1997, pp. 443-447
The state of water adsorbed on active carbons and canal soot was studi
ed using the ''chemical potential-entropy-temperature'' diagram. In th
e range of the relative pressures from 0.174 to 1, the state of adsorb
ed water is similar to the state of a stretched liquid. The molar volu
me, heat of evaporation, and surface tension of stretched water were c
alculated at different relative pressures. Near the spinodal, the mola
r volume of stretched water is 25% higher, and the surface tension is
considerably fewer compared to water.
