Adsorption
Adsorption is the increase in concentration of a substance at the surface of a solid or liquid, caused by surface forces rather than absorption into the bulk.
Adsorption isotherm
An adsorption isotherm is the relation, at constant temperature, between the amount of a substance adsorbed on a solid and its concentration in the surrounding gas or liquid.
Freundlich adsorption isotherm
The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is an empirical power-law equation relating the amount of a substance adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent to its equilibrium concentration, introduced by Herbert Freundlich in 1906.
Langmuir adsorption model
The Langmuir adsorption model, or Langmuir isotherm, describes how much of a solid surface is covered by an adsorbed gas at constant temperature, developed by Irving Langmuir in 1916.
Sips isotherm
The Sips isotherm, also called the Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm, is a three-parameter adsorption equation proposed by Robert Sips in 1948 that combines Langmuir saturation with Freundlich heterogeneity.
Temkin adsorption isotherm
The Temkin adsorption isotherm is an equilibrium model in which the heat of adsorption decreases linearly with surface coverage, proposed by Temkin and Pyzhev in 1940 for ammonia synthesis catalysts.
