Applicability
Asked by Prathima Venkateshwaran · 2 years ago
When is the Freundlich adsorption isotherm applicable, and what are its limitations?
1 Answer
The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is applicable to heterogeneous surfaces and multilayer adsorption. It works well for:
1. Low to intermediate concentration ranges
2. Non-ideal adsorption processes
3. Systems with varying adsorption energies
Limitations include:
1. It's an empirical model without a theoretical basis
2. It doesn't have a saturation limit for adsorption
3. It doesn't fit well at very high pressures
