Adsorption is present in many natural, physical, biological, and chemical systems, and is widely used in industrial applications such as activated charcoal, capturing and using waste heat to provide cold water for air conditioning and other process requirements (adsorption chillers), synthetic resins, increase storage capacity of carbide-derived carbons, and water purification.For more insights, please refer to Badran I, Al-Ejli MO.

Hence a plot of log qe vs. log Ce gives a slope of 1/ne and an intercept = log KF.

Introduction

Adsorption is the process in which matter is extracted from one phase and concentrated at the surface of a second phase. (Interface accumulation). This is a surface phenomenon as opposed to absorption where matter changes solution phase, e.g. gas transfer. 1-4 This is demonstrated in the following schematic, 2.5Figure 6: Adsorption and Absorption

Adsorption is present in many natural, physical, biological, and chemical systems, and is widely used in industrial applications such as activated charcoal, capturing and using waste heat to provide cold water for air conditioning and other process requirements (adsorption chillers), synthetic resins, increase storage capacity of carbide-derived carbons, and water purification.

We define the adsorbate as the material being adsorbed; while the adsorbent is the material doing the adsorbing, examples are activated carbon or ion exchange resin

Adsorption types

Exchange adsorption (ion exchange): electrostatic due to charged sites on the surface.

Adsorption goes up as ionic charge goes up and as hydrated radius goes down.

Physical adsorption: Van der Waals attraction between adsorbate and adsorbent. The

attraction is not fixed to a specific site and the adsorbate is relatively free to move on the surface. This is relatively weak, reversible, adsorption capable of multilayer adsorption. Ea 20-40 kJ/mol

Chemical adsorption: Some degree of chemical bonding between adsorbate and adsorbent characterized by strong attractiveness. Adsorbed molecules are not free to move on thesurface. There is a high degree of specificity and typically a monolayer is formed. The process is seldom reversible. Ea are in the range of 100-300 kJ/mol

Generally, some combination of physical and chemical adsorption is responsible for activated carbon adsorption in water and wastewater.

Adsorption Equilibria

If the adsorbent and adsorbate are contacted long enough equilibrium will be established between the amount of adsorbate adsorbed and the amount of adsorbate in solution. The equilibrium relationship is described by isotherms.5

We define the following:

qe mass of material adsorbed (at equilibrium) per mass of adsorbent. (mg/g)

Ce equilibrium concentration in solution when amount adsorbed.

qe/Ce: relationships depend on the type of adsorption that occurs, multi-layer, chemical, physical adsorption, etc.

Adsorption isotherms

Adsorption is usually described through isotherms, that is, the amount of adsorbate on the adsorbent as a function of its pressure (if gas) or concentration (if liquid) at constant temperature. The quantity adsorbed is nearly always normalized by the mass of the adsorbent to allow comparison of different materials. To date, 15 different isotherm models were developed. The figures below show that there are four common models for isotherms.Figure 7: Adsorption Isotherms. (d) applies if the Freundlich isotherm is given by qe = KyCF Typically, the Freundlich isotherm is given by q = KC and then the isotherm will resemble Langmuir for n >1

Linear isotherm

This type of isotherm is that resembles the Henry's adsorption isotherm. This is the simplest adsorption isotherm in that the amount of the surface adsorbate is represented to be proportional to the partial pressure of the adsorptive gas. 1.4

X = KHP

(1)

Where X is the surface coverage, P is the partial pressure, and Kn is the Henry's adsorption constant. For solutions, concentrations, or activities, are used instead of the partial pressures.

Langmuir isotherm

Irving Langmuir was the first to derive a scientifically based adsorption isotherm in 1918. The model applies to gases adsorbed on solid surfaces5. It is the most common isotherm equation to use due to its simplicity and its ability to fit a variety of adsorption data. It is based on four assumptions:1. All of the adsorption sites are equivalent and each site can only accommodate one molecule.

2. 
   

   The surface is energetically homogeneous and adsorbed molecules do not interact.

   
   


3. 
   

   There are no phase transitions.

   
   


4. 
   

   At the maximum adsorption, only a monolayer is formed. Adsorption only occurs on localized sites on the surface, not with other adsorbates.

   
   

These four assumptions are seldom all true: there are always imperfections on the surface, adsorbed molecules are not necessarily inert, and the mechanism is clearly not the same for the very first molecules to adsorb to a surface as for the last. The fourth condition is addressed by the BET isotherm. Langmuir suggested that adsorption takes place through this mechanism: A(g) +5 → AS

where A is a gas molecule and S is an adsorption site. The direct and inverse rate constants are k and k-1. If we define surface coverage, θ, as the fraction of the adsorption sites occupied, in the equilibrium we have: (2)

KP 0= 1+ KP

P is the partial pressure of the gas or the molar concentration of the solution. For very low pressures 0 = KP and for high pressures 0 ≈ 1.0 is difficult to measure experimentally; usually, the adsorbate is a gas and the quantity adsorbed is given in moles, grams, or gas volumes at standard temperature and pressure (STP) per gram of adsorbent.

For the cause of the current experiment, the concentrations of acetic acid are to be determined by titration using standard solutions of NaOH. Acetic acid adsorption at equilibrium and time t, qe (mg g¹), and q: (mg g¹), are computed by the following equations. 2

ge = Co-Cev W

(3)

Where Co, C, and Ce (mg L-1) are acetic acid concentration of initialization, time and equilibrium and V (L) and W (g) are solution volume and adsorbent dosage, respectively.Hence, eq. (2) can be written as:

AmKLCe (4) 1+ KC Co 1 Ce AmKL Am (5)

where qm (mg g¹) and Ki (Lg¹) are Langmuir constants. Hence a plot of Ce/qe vs. Ce gives a slope of 1/qm and an intercept = 1/qmKL.

Then, it can be shown that: 3-4

Often molecules do form multilayers, that is, some are adsorbed on already adsorbed molecules and the Langmuir isotherm is not valid. In 1938 Stephen Brunauer, Paul Emmett, and Edward Teller developed a model isotherm that takes that possibility into account. Their theory is called BET theory, after the initials in their last names. They modified Langmuir's mechanism as follows: qmKCe 9e= (C-C)(1+(K-1)())

(6)

Typically, BET isotherm is modelled using non-linear fitting. For more insights, please refer to Badran I, Al-Ejli MO.

ChemistrySelect. 2022 Oct 13;7(38):e202202976.Freundlich isotherm

We observed that Langmuir isotherm contains false assumptions. The Freundlich isotherm was derived by modifying the Langmuir model to allow for several kinds of adsorption sites on the solid, each kind having a different heat of adsorption. The Freundlich model is associated by multilayer adsorption. The Freundlich isotherm is not valid at very high pressures but is frequently more accurate than the Langmuir isotherm for intermediate pressures. The main Freundlich equation is given by:2 qe = KFC/np

(7)

where KF (L mg¹) and 1/n are the Freundlich adsorption constants. eq. (7) can be rearranged to:

1 log qe log Kp+-log log Ce (8)

Hence a plot of log qe vs. log Ce gives a slope of 1/ne and an intercept = log KF.

In the current for of the Freundlich adsorption (eq 7), the value of n determines the type of isotherm; linear for n = 1, Langmuir for n >1, and Freundlich for n
