Experimental adsorption isotherms were simulated by a single energy monolayer model using statistical physics, allowing to determine the number of molecules per site (n), the density of receptor sites (NM) and the concentration at half saturation (c1/2). Simulation results suggested that two adsorbates were docked per receptor sites of the activated carbon cloth surface. As a function of temperature, the study of the monolayer adsorbed quantity has indicated that the adsorption process is exothermic. The magnitudes of the estimated adsorption energies have indicated that IBP and ILs have been physisorbed on the adsorbent. The conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) was applied to calculate three specific interaction energies of ILs and IBP with a graphene layer, i.e., the electrostatic misfit energy (EMF), the hydrogen-bonding energy (EHB) and the Van der Waals energy (EvdW). The COSMO-RS model has proved that the interaction of all the three studied adsorbates with a graphene layer mainly depends on the Van der Waals contribution. The highest interaction energies of IL2 and IBP with the carbon surface have been explained by the additional contribution of hydrogen bond attributed to the presence of a carboxyl group on these molecules. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.. date: 2016 publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84955509968&doi=10.1016%2fj.fluid.2016.01.007&partnerID=40&md5=3bcf9cfa3525e2220c38c56d9e22c857 id_number: 10.1016/j.fluid.2016.01.007 full_text_status: none publication: Fluid Phase Equilibria volume: 414 pagerange: 156-163 refereed: TRUE issn: 03783812 citation: Sellaoui, L. and Guedidi, H. and Masson, S. and Reinert, L. and Levêque, J.-M. and Knani, S. and Lamine, A.B. and Khalfaoui, M. and Duclaux, L.
