Ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) is one of the widely used theories in adsorption science. IAST can predict multicomponent isotherm from single component isotherms. However, IAST calculation contains two bothersome steps. The first one, user have to find the most suitable model for given isotherm data from available isotherm models. Second, the user also has to solve the systems of nonlinear equations to obtain IAST result. Despite the usefulness of the IAST and bothersomeness of the calculation, there was no software with graphical user interface (GUI) for the IAST calculations. To solve these problems, we developed User-friendly software for IAST calculation called IAST++. IAST++ offers two main functionalities. The first one is the automatic model suggestion. The most appropriate isotherm model is suggested for given isotherm data, and the software also gives the corresponding isotherm parameters. The second one, by using the previous result of model fitting, IAST++ can calculate the IAST calculation by simply clicking buttons on the GUI. By using the software, users would easily conduct IAST calculation for an arbitrary number of component. |
