Abstract
Batchelor and Foster1 found, by examination of the vapour pressure – temperature curves, that dioxan adsorbed on a ferric oxide gel of pore radius ∼ 100 A. melts sharply about 6° C. below the normal melting point of the bulk liquid. During a recent investigation of the sorption of amines by silica gel, a similar effect has been observed with ethylenediamine.
