Abstract

Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation is generally derived using the kinetics approach and based on some assumptions. These assumptions are usually not accompanied by an adequate explanation related with the mechanisms and the determination techniques of its adsorption constants. This study presents a simple technique on the determination of the isotherm equation based on the main assumption so called the monolayer assumption. Furthermore, a more precise technique for determining the adsorption constants is also described. This theoretical study is supported with statistical analysis on the experimental data adapted from the literature. Two theories based on adsorption mechanism and based on rate were introduced. Regardless of its limitations, the results show that the technique for the determination is valid.
