Adsorption of gases on heterogeneous shale surfaces: A review

Many studies tied to adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces have been reported in the literature. However, finding an adsorption model that accurately describes the sorption mechanism in gas shales remains a challenge. This is due to the complex surface heterogeneity and the presence of multiple compo...
