sorption: Sorption isotherms

Description

This function returns the concentration of a substance sorbed to a surface boundary after an equilibrium has established at constant temperature given the concentration(s) conc of the dissolved substance.

Usage

sorption(conc, par, type = "freundlich")

Arguments

conc

a numeric vector containing the concentration(s) of the dissolved substance

par

a numeric vector specifying the function parameters, see examples for details and correct order

type

a character string indicating the type of sorption isotherm to be used: "linear" for the linear type, "freundlich" for the Freundlich isotherm, "langmuir" for the Langmuir isotherm, "BET" for the BET model according to Brunauer, Emmet, and Teller "redlich" for the Redlich-Peterson isotherm,
