Abstract
In this chapter, it is shown how to simulate the adsorption of a substance, not taking into account any electrochemical reactions the substance may undergo. That is, only the adsorption itself is dealt with here. In Chap. 2, Sect. 2.5, some theory is presented, laying the groundwork for the simulation. It is noted there that adsorption may be controlled by transport and the adsorption isotherm, in which case there is equilibrium at all times between the solution and surface phases; or that the adsorption step itself may limit the rate of adsorption. In this latter case, there are rate constants whose values must be known. In both cases, for isotherms more complicated than the Henry isotherm (2.104), nonlinear terms will enter the equations to be solved in a simulation.
