combined Langmuir–Freundlich adsorption model for heterogeneous surfaces
Also known as Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm
The Sips isotherm model, also known as the Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm, is an empirical adsorption model developed to overcome the unbounded adsorption predicted by the classical Freundlich equation. It combines the heterogeneous surface characteristics of the Freundlich model with the finite monolayer adsorption limit of the Langmuir model. At low adsorbate concentrations, the Sips equation behaves like the Freundlich isotherm, while at sufficiently high concentrations it predicts a Langmuir-type saturation capacity. The model assumes localized adsorption without lateral interactions and is commonly used to describe heterogeneous adsorbent surfaces. Sips isotherm parameters are strongly influenced by system conditions such as pH, temperature, and solute concentration.
