A FRACTAL RATE MODEL FOR ADSORPTION KINETICS AT SOLID/SOLUTION INTERFACE

ABSTRACT
Langmuir's linear rate equation has limited applications in the adsorption kinetics at solid/solution interface. Considering the fractal properties of adsorption surfaces, a fractal derivative model is proposed, its initial slope agrees well with Azizian-Fallah's modified rate equation.
