Adsorption isotherms models by Langmuir and Freundlich.

Model Equation Description Ref
Langmuir qe=Q0KLCe1+KLCe

RL=11+KLC0
qe: amount of solute adsorbed in the adsorbent (mg/g)
Q0: maximum adsorption capacity (mg/g)
KL: constant according to the Langmuir model (l/mg)
RL: separation factor (dimensionless)
[4,5]
Freundlich qe=KFCe1n qe: amount of solute adsorbed in the adsorbent (mg/g)
KF: Freundlich constant related to the adsorption capacity ((mg/g)(l/mg)n)
n: Freundlich constants related to the adsorption intensity of the adsorbent (dimensionless)
