Adsorption Isotherm Screening

Linearized OLS regression for Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET models, with separate mathematical-fit and physical-usability status. Only physically usable fits can predict or hand off to activated-carbon sizing.

Activated Carbon Adsorption Isotherm Analyzer

Enter bottle-point equilibrium data and screen Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET isotherms by linearized regression. Physical parameter validity is gated separately, and model comparison uses a common raw-space error metric.

Equilibrium Test Data

Ce = residual (equilibrium) concentration (dissolved for Liquid Phase, in the gas stream for Gas Phase). qe = mass adsorbed per unit mass of carbon, typically qe = (C0−Ce)·V/M from a bottle-point test. At least 3 points are recommended per model for a meaningful regression. Liquid ppm/ppb assume a dilute aqueous solution (density ≈ 1 kg/L); gas ppmv/ppbv/Pa require the Molar Mass field (ideal gas law, 25°C/1 atm). g/kg is numerically identical to mg/g; g/100g is numerically identical to wt%.

Enter a Ce value to predict qe only after the active model passes the physical-parameter gate. The point is highlighted on the chart above with dashed projection lines.

Model Comparison

R² is the linearized-regression metric. Cross-model ranking uses common raw-space qe RMSE on the same positive Ce/qe points; physically unusable fits are excluded from prediction and handoff.

Engineering Basis

Methodology

Each model uses its declared linearized ordinary-least-squares transform.

Raw-space RMSE comparison uses the same positive Ce/qe data points.

Assumptions

  • The screen compares Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET models against laboratory Ce/qe data.
  • A successful regression is reported separately from physical parameter usability.

Scope / Limitations

  • Preliminary adsorption-isotherm screening with separate fit and physical-usability status.
  • Negative, singular, non-finite, or otherwise unusable parameter sets are not valid predictors.
  • Only physically usable fits can predict or transfer parameters to Activated Carbon Sizing; verify against project bench data and references before final use.
