Statistical analysis of adsorption isotherm models and its appropriate selection.

In adsorption research, there was a good amount of adsorption data on various absorbent-adsorbate systems and many isotherm models were studied but there was no study on applicability of models to a group of adsorbent-adsorbate systems. In order to establish this, adsorption data obtained from literature for activated carbon with different solutes/sorbate(s) were considered and modelled with various adsorption models. The molecular mass of the solutes varies from 78.
