BET Isotherm (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller)


 Extension of Langmuir for multilayer adsorption.
 Mainly used for gas adsorption.
 Equation:
C 1 C −1 P
= + ⋅
( P0 − P ) V V m C V m C P 0
where:

 V: volume of gas adsorbed


 P/ Pc relative pressure
 V m : monolayer volume
 C: BET canstant
4. Temkin Isotherm
 Considers adsarbent-adsorbate interactions.
 Assumes adsorption heat decreases linearly with coverage
 Equation:
RT
q k= ln ⁡( K T C k )
b

where:

 b. Temikin constant related to heat of adsorption


 K T . Ternkin isotherm constant
∗

5. Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) Isotherm


 Used to distinguish between physical and chemical adsorption.
 Equation:

q k =q ν exp ⁡( − B ε 2 )

where:

 ε =R T ln ⁡( 1+1 /C κ )
 B : activity coefficient
 qu: theoretical saturation caparity
6. Halsey and Harkin-Jura Isotherms
 These are empirical models for multilyyer adsorption on
heterogeneous surfaces.
 Useful in special cases, e.g., porous adsorbents.
