Langmuir Adsorption Model

The Langmuir Adsorption Model describes how molecules adhere to a surface. It suggests that adsorption happens when molecules occupy specific sites on a solid, forming a layer. Each site can hold only one molecule, meaning there's a maximum amount that can stick. The model uses the idea that the rate of adsorption balances with the rate of desorption (molecules leaving the surface). It assumes a uniform surface and helps explain how substances, like gases or liquids, interact with solids, which is important in fields like catalysis, environmental science, and materials engineering.
