Talk:Langmuir adsorption model

The contents of Langmuir equation was merged into Langmuir adsorption model on 30 January 2015. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Problem in Background and Experiments section

Article states: "The experiments began at very low pressures (~100 bar) in order to more easily measure the change in quantities of free gas and also to avoid condensation." 100 bar is pretty high pressure (it's 98 atmospheres). This source of this experiment is also not cited, nor does it add to the article. I recommend removing the pressure of 100 bar. 131.243.223.198 (talk) 23:14, 30 March 2016 (UTC)David[reply]

Problems in Modifications / Temkin adsorpion isotherm

I think there are two issues regarding the development of the Temkin adsorpion isotherm: 1)In the development of the Temkin isotherm, the gas constant R is suddenly replaced by Boltzmann's constant without clear reason. 2)There should not be "(1-α)" in the exponentional but only "α". The "(1-α)" term is actually not appearing in the final result. I would like someone else to support that, as I am not 100% sure.

Too many k

There are large K, k_ad and k_d, and k_B. Can we not use another letter?--MaoGo (talk) 12:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kinetic derivation seems unnecessarily complicated...

${\text{Free site}}+{\text{Gas}}\rightleftarrows {\text{Occupied site}}$

At equilibrium,

$K={\dfrac {\{{\text{Occupied site}}\}}{\{{\text{Free site}}\}\{{\text{Gas}}\}}}={\dfrac {\theta }{(1-\theta )P}}$

where θ is the fraction of sites occupied.

This gives

$\theta ={\dfrac {KP}{KP+1}}$
