The working equation of Conder and Young (1979) for the Chromatograph?ic Step-and-Pulse Method was reasonably simplified and used to predict vapour-liquid equilibria. Twenty-two binary systems including eleven miscible
three partially miscible and eight polymer containing systems were studied. The calculated solute activity coefficients and partial pressures were in good agreement with experimental data. Extension of this new equation to gas-solid adsorption isotherms was also studied.
