Abstract
Interfacial phenomena at a surface of porous and highly disperse adsorbents in the systems containing strongly and weakly bound and unbound liquids depend strongly on the confined space effects. These effects as well as the temperature behavior of liquids located in pores or voids between nanoparticles depend on many factors. They are the pore size distributions, pore volume, specific surface area, surface chemistry of adsorbents, chemical structure and molecular sizes of adsorbates, accessibility of pores vs. probe molecule sizes, as well as textural instability of adsorbents. This instability can appear, e.g., as compaction of fumed oxides under action of liquid adsorbates, especially water, or due to mechanochemical activation. The aim of this study is to analyze features of the interfacial phenomena upon interactions of fumed oxides (silica, alumina, alumina/silica/titania) and porous silicas (silica gels and precipitated silica) with polar (water, dimethyl sulfoxide), weakly polar (chloroform), and nonpolar (n-decane, aromatic benzene and toluene) liquid adsorbates depending on the morphological and textural characteristics of the adsorbents, various adsorbate characteristics, and temperature. The observed effects as well as related phenomena are important because they can differently influence the efficiency of practical applications of adsorbents under various conditions (temperature, pressure, concentrations) depending on the characteristics of adsorbents and adsorbates (liquids, solvents and solutes).
