We present adsorption and desorption isotherms of methane, ethane, propane, n -butane and iso -butane as well as carbon dioxide for two shales and isolated kerogens determined by a gravimetric method. The sorption measurements of two shales were performed at three different temperatures, 308.15, 323...
