A database on the adsorption of gas and vapour, made available following the retirement of its creator

The ASP adsorption database consists of 1078 high-quality experimental datasets concerning gas and vapour adsorption on porous solids. These data have been obtained in the ASP team of ICB laboratory (Dijon, France). According to the data type, the major part are the adsorption isotherms (844 datasets). The database contains also the isobars (124) and the differential adsorption enthalpy as a function of loading (110). The main type of the sorbents are zeolites (707) of FAU, MFI, BEA and CHA structure. Other porous solids well represented in the database include ordered silica-based materials (MCM41 and SBA15) (128), active carbons (65) and MOFs (50). Among the sorbates water vapor is the most represented substance (256), followed by aromatic hydrocarbons, mostly toluene (213). The ASP database contains also substantial amount of data for chloro-organic (129) and sulphur-containing species (55).

This database is also accessible as a python package "DataLabICB" on pypi.org. Anarticle in HAL open archive (in french) describes the database and how to use it.

This deposit shows the value of taking stock of the scientific data that can be shared with the community, before retirement!
This dataset is stored in the dat@UBFC repository and harvested by Recherche Data Gouv.
