The relevance of Jäntti's method for the fast measurement of sorption of water vapour

The time necessary for the measurement of gas adsorption on a solid can be substantially reduced by using Jäntti's directions for data interpretation. This procedure already delivers results after measuring only a few values of the adsorbed mass. In earlier papers we introduced a second order adaptation to Jäntti's method to broaden its applicability. In the present paper we apply this second order treatment to the adsorption of water vapour from moistened air. Specially we pay attention to the diffusion delay caused by the boundary layer around the sample.
