Abstract: | A new method is proposed for the determination of the surface free energy σS and interfacial free energy σSL, based on their linear dependence on the specific heat of wetting of dispersed materials by water. The σS and σSL values of Silochrome, silica gel, and γ-aluminum oxide were determined first by this method. The obtained results are compared
with data obtained from the similarity method and the empirical relationship between σS and the surface pressure. It is demonstrated that the methods can be used to determine σS for the investigated sorbents. Conclusions about the hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity of their surface were reached on the basis
of the results.
