adsorption model for multi-site occupancy and chain effects, named after Maurice Loyal Huggins, Paul Flory
The Flory–Huggins isotherm is an empirical adsorption model adapted from polymer solution theory that describes how chemically similar molecules of different chain length occupy adsorbent sites. It uses a coverage degree defined from initial and equilibrium concentrations and explicitly accounts for an occupancy number that represents how many adsorbate units occupy a site. The model is used to assess adsorption feasibility and spontaneity via an equilibrium constant that can be related to a standard Gibbs free-energy expression. It is applied when adsorbate molecules are large or chain-like (e.g., polymers, large organics) and the adsorbate–adsorbent arrangement is approximately random.
