Investigation of Fractal-like Characteristics According to New Kinetic Equation of Desorption

Most of the adsorbents have porous structures and a suitable kinetic model is essential for studying these systems. The kinetic Langmuir model is one of the first theoretical models, which can be used for desorption studies. In the present research, the fractal-like concept was added to the kinetic Langmuir model of desorption. A new integrated kinetic Langmuir equation was provided to investigate the rate of desorption from a solid surface. The preferred characteristic of the provided rate equation is the application of the fractal concept for the kinetic study of the desorption process from porous surfaces. The derivation of a new equation was confirmed using the generated data. The fractal-like concept for some experimental desorption studies was obtained. This parameter can show how the porous structure of an adsorbent can affect the desorption kinetics.
