Abstract

We have studied the effect of inhomogeneity of the adsorbing surface on multicenter adsorption equilibrium. We have shown that in certain cases, the dependences obtained in the experiment can be equally well approximated by equations obtained on the basis of the concepts of one-center and multicenter adsorption. In the considered cases, multicenter adsorption equilibrium on an inhomogeneous surface is described by a logarithmic isotherm.
