The Langmuir isotherm model is a theoretical adsorption isotherm that assumes monolayer adsorption of solute molecules onto a homogeneous surface with finite, identical adsorption sites. It is based on the assumption that once a site is occupied, no further adsorption can occur at that site. The model is widely used to describe adsorption processes in water and wastewater treatment, catalysis, and surface chemistry.
Langmuir adsorption model
equation that relates the coverage or adsorption of molecules on a solid surface to gas pressure or concentration of a medium above the solid surface at a fixed temperature
