The Volmer isotherm model describes adsorption in a mobile monolayer, where adsorbed molecules can move freely across the surface but do not interact with each other. It applies an exponential correction term that accounts for the configurational entropy associated with mobile adsorbates. The model uses the fractional surface coverage and an affinity constant that depends on temperature. Unlike interaction-based models such as Fowler–Guggenheim or Hill–de Boer, the Volmer approach assumes no lateral interactions between adsorbates. It is used to characterize adsorption systems where mobility dominates surface behavior, including applications in surface chemistry and chemical wastewater treatment.
