The Elovich isotherm equation: Back to the roots and new developments

This work seeks to debunk the claim that Elovich isotherm is vastly inferior Langmuir or Freundlich in correlation of adsorption equilibrium data. mistaken finding, reported many published articles, a result comparing linearized versions three isotherms, which are based on different sets transformed When discrimination performed basis untransformed data (the conventional adsorbed phase concentration versus solution plot), shown be highly and consistently competitive against isotherm. Predictions can obtained from isotherms by using parameter estimates generated either linear nonlinear regression. To promote wider application research, this shows how modified form used evaluate energy distribution heterogeneous surfaces.
