ADSORPTION - general reading
Some of those books seem to be a bit old, however are often a much better reading for a newcomer to adsorption, than newer but very specialized ones.

A must-read book!
Some books/sources suggested by readers with their comments:
From Marcel Neitsch (Germany):
- D.D. Do: "Adsorption Analysis: Equilibria and Kinetics"
(M.N.: The first part is about isotherm modeling and there are over 50 equations compiled and discussed)
- J.W. Patrick (edt.): "Porosity in Carbons"
(M.N.: May be only the first article (by Byrne and Marsh) is interesting for anyone who works on adsorption, but I think this is one of the best articles for one who starts with adsorption)
Physical Chemistry:
- P.W. Atkins, "Physical Chemistry", Oxford Univ. Press, London 1990 (4th ed.).
- P.W. Atkins, "The Elements of Physical Chemistry", Oxford Univ. Press, London 1996 (2nd ed.).
- P.W. Atkins, "Concepts in Physical Chemistry", Oxford Univ. Press, London 1995.
Other useful books and sources:
- H.B. Dwight, "Tables of Integrals and Other Mathematical Data", MacMillan Coomp., NY 1961.
- W.H. Press, S.A. Teukolsky, W.T. Vetterling, B.P. Flannery, Numerical Recipes in Fortran, 2nd ed., Cambridge Univ. Press, 1992.
[ You may find Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 NumRec books at Cornell Library On-Line ]
("Numerical Recipes in Fortran", "... in Pascal" and "... in C" with accompanying code - all are great programming cook-books and and give good theoretical background for a variety of numerical problems - though code rarely is very efficient, it is always a good starting point for research on a numerical problem)
