nonlinear parameter estimation (Temkin isotherm model) (Q6820956): Difference between revisions

This task performs nonlinear parameter estimation using adsorption equilibrium data based on the Temkin isotherm model. It determines the Temkin equilibrium constant and the adsorption-energy variation by fitting the nonlinear Temkin equation directly to measured adsorbate concentrations and fractional coverage values. Nonlinear regression provides unbiased estimates by avoiding distortions introduced through logarithmic linearization. The resulting parameters describe how adsorption energy decreases with increasing surface coverage. This method is commonly applied in environmental chemistry and materials analysis for systems involving significant adsorbate–adsorbent interactions.
