freundlich_model: Freundlich Isotherm Model

Description

The Freundlich isotherm describes adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces and assumes that stronger binding sites are occupied first (Freundlich, 1907). The model is empirical and is expressed by the equation:

$$Q = K_f \cdot C_e^{1/n}$$

where \(Q\) is the amount adsorbed, \(C_e\) is the equilibrium concentration, \(K_f\) is the Freundlich constant related to adsorption capacity, and \(n\) is the heterogeneity factor (indicating adsorption intensity).

For more information, see Freundlich (1907): tools:::Rd_expr_doi("https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.19070201805")

Usage

freundlich_model(Ce, Qe)

Value

A named list of Freundlich parameters and model details.

Arguments
