An advanced statistical physics model has been applied to study the hydrogen adsorption isotherm on two modified types of activated carbon, namely granular coal activated carbon (AC (GC)) and coconut shell activated carbon (AC (CS)). This model is established with the statistical physics approach. It is a more general model including various parameters having a defined physico-chemical sense which were discussed at different temperatures.

In recent papers, it is found that the silver-[6]Helicene complex can be used as a cancer drug but the interaction silver-hexaHelicene has not yet proven. The idea of this paper is to investigate the complexation process of the [6]Helicene by the silver metal (Ag) using three types of adsorbates. Indeed, the adsorption of silver chloride, silver nitrate and silver sulfide into the sensor films deposited on the QCM electrode are measured at three temperatures (293-333 K).

In this research paper, the equilibrium isotherms for the adsorption of cobalt(ii)nitrate and cobalt(ii)chloride on tetrakis(4-tolylphenyl)porphyrin (HTTPP) were obtained at four temperatures for modeling analysis. The experimental data describing the adsorbed quantity of cobalt particles were measured using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) strategy. Then, statistical physics formalism was employed to interpret the complexation mechanism by applying the real gas law that contemplates the interaction between the adsorbate particles in the free state.
