Langmuir adsorption model #
This section defines Langmuir adsorption model from kinetics for a single adsorbate on a single site:
$$
θ = \frac{K Pₐ}{1 + K Pₐ}
$$
where:
θis the fractional occupancy of the adsorption sitesKis the adsorption constant describing the adsorption/desorption rates in equilibriumPₐis the partial pressure of the adsorbate
Assumption #
The model assumes the rate of adsorption r_ad = k_ad * Pₐ * S and
the rate of desorption r_d = k_d * A are equal at equilibrium conditions where:
k_adis the adsorption constantk_dis the desorption constantSis the concentartion of all sitesAis the concentartion of occupied sites
Constraints generated by Lean #
