Pages: 134
Format & Size: Hardcover, 4.5 in x 7 in
First published in 1934, The Adsorption of Gases by Solids by S. J. Gregg stands as a pioneering contribution to the study of physical chemistry and surface science. This first edition hardcover (4.5 in x 7 in, 134 pages) examines the fundamental principles governing the adsorption process, where gas molecules adhere to the surface of solids—an area crucial to catalysis, material science, and chemical engineering.
The book offers a systematic treatment of adsorption phenomena, drawing upon both experimental studies and theoretical models available in the early 20th century. Gregg, who later became a recognized authority in surface chemistry, presents clear explanations of adsorption isotherms, surface area measurements, and the behavior of porous materials.
As one of the earliest comprehensive works in adsorption science, this volume holds enduring significance for historians of science, chemists, and researchers interested in the development of materials and chemical processes. It remains not only a valuable collectible for rare science book collectors but also a foundational reference in the evolution of adsorption theory—connecting early experimental methods to the modern practices of physical chemistry.
This copy, being a first edition, carries added scholarly and collectible value, particularly for those interested in the history of chemistry and scientific literature of the 20th century.
