Abstract
One of the classical problems in the theory of adsorption on geometrically and energetically heterogeneous adsorbents is to explain the low-pressure behaviour of pure-component adsorption isotherms [1]. For many adsorbate-adsorbent systems extensive experimental literature shows a deviation from the linear Henry regime predicted at low pressure by most statistical mechanical models of adsorption [2]. Theoretical models have been proposed to relate the deviation from Henry law to the distribution of adsorption energies [3–4].
