Abstract
Imposing a pore size distribution of a fractal surface on the Dubinin approach for adsorption in porous materials yields the simple isotherm θ= K[ln (Po/p)]0-3in which θis the relative adsorption, p0and p are the saturation and equilibrium pressures, respectively, K is a constant, and D is the fractal dimension of the surface accessible to adsorption. The isotherm has the form of the Frenkel-Halsey-Hill (FHH) equation, and the theoretical range of the exponent 3 — D (2 < D < 3) indeed falls into the range of experimentally observed FHH exponents.
