Adsorption isotherms models by Langmuir and Freundlich.
| Model | Equation | Description | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|
| Langmuir |
|
: amount of solute adsorbed in the adsorbent (mg/g) : maximum adsorption capacity (mg/g) : constant according to the Langmuir model (l/mg) : separation factor (dimensionless) |
[4,5] |
| Freundlich |
: amount of solute adsorbed in the adsorbent (mg/g) : Freundlich constant related to the adsorption capacity ((mg/g)(l/mg)n) n: Freundlich constants related to the adsorption intensity of the adsorbent (dimensionless) |
