The Adsorption sur Solides Poreux (ASP) research team of the Université de Bourgogne in France has many years of experience in the measurement of gas and vapor adsorption in nanoporous solids. For more than 40 years, it has acquired extensive adsorption data and developed its own adsorption database. This base contains more than 1000 adsorption equilibrium data sets (adsorption isotherms, isobars, and heats of adsorption) for 49 gases or vapors on adsorbents representing ∼15 different classes of porous solids. This ASP database is now open free of charge to the scientific community. This article provides some basic thermodynamic definitions used in this database and presents the experimental techniques used. It also includes references to the adsorption data published to date and explains how to use the database.
