Abstract:  This paper is concerned with an apparatus which enables to measure kinetic and equilibrium sorption data of gases and vapours (one- or multicomponent mixtures) on solid substances — adsorbents by using the stream of an inert carrier gas. The design respects the demands on gradientless reactor in which the concentration and temperature on the surface of adsorbent and in the whole volume of gaseous phase is equal. The measuring procedure and evaluation of results are illustrated by an example comprising the sorption of n-heptane from a stream of nitrogen serving as a carrier gas.
