Colloid Sci., vol. 5, 1950, pp. 141-147; Chem. Abs., vol. 44, 1950, p. 6228. Sorption isobars were determined for H2 at 0.1 mm. Hg pressure on evaporated Ni films, over the temperature range –253°-25°. Slow activated sorption, interpreted as absorption of H2 into the interior of the metal structure, was observed in agreement with previous results. The process is exothermic and, after initiation by raising the temperature to approximately –150°, will continue at much lower temperatures. |
