Temperature Dependence of Adsorption Isotherms of Primary Alcohols at the Liquid-air Interface

Abstract

IN this communication, we report data on the temperature dependence of surface pressure as a function of concentration for butan-1-ol, hexan-1-ol, and octan-1-ol in aqueous solution. The results are presented in Figs. 1–3.
