A new method is presented for the determination of adsorption equilibria for pure components and mixtures both at high and low pressures. Isotherms for carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, i ‐butane, n ‐butane, i ‐pentane, and n ‐pentane on activated carbon (Columbia grade NXC 8/10) and on silica gel (Mobil Sorbead H) at 75°, 125°, 200°, and 300°F. are given for pressures ranging from below atmospheric to 1,000 lb./sq. in. Also, adsorption equilibria data are presented for several multicomponent mixtures of the light hydrocarbon gases. The data collected were correlated with good accuracy by use of the two‐layer kinetic model developed previously by Gonzalez.
