The Gas-Solid Interface the adsorption of nitrogen, argon, neopentane, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur hexafluoride on rhombic sulfur

Physical adsorption of the title compounds on rhombic sulfur of 0.4 to 0.5 m²/g is reported. The isotherms are of type II for N₂, Ar and C₅H₁₂, of type III for SO₂ and CO₂, and linear for SF₆. There is no hysteresis. The method of <i>Ross & Olivier</i> shows that the surface is relatively heterogenous (γ = 17). Isosteric heats of adsorption and c values of the B.E.T. equation are also reported.
