Adsorption
Physical Adsorption
General phenomenon with a relatively low degree of specificity.
Retains identity; desorbs to fluid phase in its original form.
Exothermic adsorption similar to the energy of condensation.
Rapid equilibration; transport limited.
Chemical Adsorption
Dependent on reactivity of adsorbent and adsorptive.
Chemisorbed molecule may react or dissociate.
Energy is similar to energy change for chemical reaction.
Activated process at elevated temperature.

Adsorption
Physical Adsorption
Molecules from the gas phase strike the surface.
At equilibrium the molecule adsorbs, lose the heat ofadsorption (q), and subsequently desorb from surface.
At equilibrium the rate of condensation = the rate ofdesorption
Constant surface coverage at equilibrium.

Adsorption
Physical Adsorption
Surface features change the adsorption potential.
Surface area models neglect the effects of localizedphenomenon.
Curve surfaces or roughness provide enhanced adsorptionpotential.

Multi-Layer Physical Adsorption
As the system pressure isincreased (gas concentrationalso increases) multiple layerssorb to the surface.
The monolayer coverage, adensely packed single adsorbedlayer is used for determiningsurface area.
As pressure is further increasedand adsorption proceeds gascondenses in the pores and thisvolume of condensed adsorptiveis used for characterizingporosity.

Adsorption
Surface area is easily estimated if the number of N2 molecules thatform monolayer is known.
Calculating Surface Area
Surface Area = nm ×Na
w× σA =
Vm
Vg× Na
w× σA
where:
nm = Monolayer quantity, molVm = Monolayer volume, cm3
Vg = Molar volume of gas at STP, 22414 cm3/molNa = Avogadro’s number, 6.023×1023 molecules/molw = sample mass, gσA = Cross-sectional area of the adsorbate, m2

Quantity adsorbed vs. pressure.
Pressure is usually varied from vacuum to near atmospheric.
Constant temperature.
Quantity adsorbed is normalized for adsorbent mass.

Investigate the impact of preparation temperature
Both excipients and APIs may be sensitive to temperature.
The preparation (removal of moisture, solvents, and ambientgases) is often performed at or near room temperature.

Summary Data
Total Intrusion Volume - capacitance to volume measurement
Total Pore Area - we have used the Washburn equation tocalculate a size for each pressure. This diameter is then usedwith the incremental volume to determine the area of acylinder.
Median Pore Diameter1 by Volume - the diameter is calculated at the pressure
corresponding to 50% of the total intrussion volume.2 by Area - the diameter is calculated at the pressure
corresponding to 50% of the total intrussion Area.
Average pore diameter - 4V/A

Density and porosity
Bulk density - actually an envelope density determined by thequantity of Hg in the penetrometer empty (calibrated) versusthe quantity at low pressure with the sample.
Apparent density - similar to true density - density of thematerial determined at high pressure and subject tocompressibility effects.
Porosity - using both the bulk and apparent density todetermine percentage of void space = 100*(1 - ρB/ρA)

Summary
Chemistry effects
Composition influnces the adsorption potential - for example thealkaline zeolites adsorbed nitrogen at very low pressure.
Structure
Adsorption potential also follows pore size - for example a 5A poreadsorbs nitrogen at lower pressures than an 8A pore.
Surface Area
Surface area increases as pore size decreases

Preparation
The preparation temperature strongly influences surface area. Asprep temperature was increased for oxides the SSA increased; whilethe opposite was observed for stearates - increasing preptemperature reduced the surface area.
Porosity
Mesoporosity is a function of pressure and not as stronglydependent upon chemistry like the micro porous materials.
Porosity of Excipients
Common excipients do not exhibit significant levels of porosity aswe observed with silica.

Macro porosity
Mercury porosimetry allows us to understand the larger pores in amaterial
Tablets
The pore size of consumer tablets is very consistent and breaking atablet does not provide additional access to the API. This shouldprovide a consistent release of the API.
