import_data

beatmap.io.import_data(file=None, info=None, a_o=None)

Imports isothermal adsoprtion data from a csv file.

The .csv file format expected is a two column table, the first column being “n” (specific amount adsorbed, mol/g) and the second being the relative pressure.

Parameters:

filestr or buffer

Path to the csv file that contains BET data

infostr

Short description of data, will be used as identifier

a_ofloat

Cross sectional area of the adsorbate molecule, in square angstrom.

Returns:

isotherm_datanamedtuple

Contains all information required for BET analysis. Relevant fields are:

• isotherm_data.iso_data (DataFrame) : imported isotherm data.

• isotherm_data.a_o (float) : adsorbate cross sectional area.

• isotherm_data.info (str) : string of adsorbate-adsorbent info.

• isotherm_data.file (str) : file name or path.
