Freundlich constants

The Freundlich constants are numbers used to describe how well a substance, like a pollutant, can stick to a surface, such as soil or activated carbon. These constants come from the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, a mathematical model that explains the relationship between the amount of substance adsorbed and its concentration in solution. Specifically, the constants indicate how strongly and efficiently the substance is adsorbed. A higher Freundlich constant suggests a greater affinity and capacity for adsorption, meaning the substance tends to attach more readily and in larger amounts to the surface, which is important for understanding pollution control and filtration processes.
