As many other models, even the Toth isotherm was originally derived for the study of gas-solid equilibria. However, it has been extended to the description of liquid-solid system. This isotherm assumes a continuous and wide adsorption energy distribution. The equation of the Toth isotherm is...

In literature the existing experimental data base of supercritical adsorption equilibria is limited and most of the data have been modelled with one of three common adsorption isotherm models - the Langmuir, the Freundlich and the Toth. The models define adsorption isotherms with a similar shape and they have 2 or 3 adjustable parameters which allow an accurate correlation. 

The best results to describe the adsorption isotherm by the selected isotherm equations were achieved by the Toth model. The Freundlich model showed in some cases a lack of flexibility in describing the region were the linear behaviour changed to saturation behaviour (22 MPa) and the Langmuir-model in some cases had difficulties in describing the region were the adsorbate is saturated (16 MPa). 

One drawback of Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms is the conjunction between the initial slope of the isotherm and its curvature. This can be overcome by the Toth isotherm model (Toth, 1971) (Eq. 2.42) ... 

Actual surfaces are heterogeneous and the adsorption data on real adsorbents are usually not well accounted for by one of the two models discussed in the section above. The distribution of the adsorption energy (AED) on a homogeneous surface is a Dirac distribution. On an actual surface, the adsorption energy distribution has a finite width. It can be unimodal or multi-modal. The isotherm models discussed in this section correspond to such surfaces. Each of them can be related to a different AED. In all cases, however, there are no adsorbate-adsorbate interactions. In this group, the most useful models are the bi-Langmuir and multi-Langmuir isotherms, the Toth isotherm, and the Freundlich isotherm. 

The TEOM is a unique technique that is suitable for simultaneous measurements of adsorption, reaction, and coke formation. The adsorption isotherms of 12DCP on activated carbon and catalysts have been accurately determined. The isotherm data can be described by the Toth model. Only minor differences exist between the adsorption on activated carbon and fresh catalysts. The reduction of catalysts can lead to the chemisorption of 12DCP on metallic species, which enhances the adsorption capacity. 

Fundamentals of sorption and sorption kinetics by zeohtes are described and analyzed in the first Chapter which was written by D. M. Ruthven. It includes the treatment of the sorption equilibrium in microporous sohds as described by basic laws as well as the discussion of appropriate models such as the Ideal Langmuir Model for mono- and multi-component systems, the Dual-Site Langmuir Model, the Unilan and Toth Model, and the Simphfied Statistical Model. Similarly, the Gibbs Adsorption Isotherm, the Dubinin-Polanyi Theory, and the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory are discussed. With respect to sorption kinetics, the cases of self-diffusion and transport diffusion are discriminated, their relationship is analyzed and, in this context, the Maxwell-Stefan Model discussed. Finally, basic aspects of measurements of micropore diffusion both under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions are elucidated. The important role of micropore diffusion in separation and catalytic processes is illustrated. 

In this theory of Ideal Adsorption Solution, adsorption isotherm equation for pure components can take any form which fits the data best (Richter et al., 1989). Two isotherms commonly used are Toth and Unilan equations (Chapter 3), although Toth equation is the preferable equation from the computational point of view because it usually gives faster convergence than the Unilan equation does. When DR equation is used to describe pure component data, the application of the LAST in this case has some special features (Richter et al., 1989) and it was used by Lavanchy et al. (1996) in the description of equilibria of chlorobenzene and tetrachloride on activated carbon. 

In nonlinear adsorption systems where parallel diffusion mechanisms hold, the mass balance equation given in eq. (9.2-lb) is still valid. The difference is in the functional relationship between the concentrations of the two phases, that is the local adsorption isotherm. In general, this relationship can take any form that can describe well equilibrium data. Adsorption isotherm such as Langmuir, Unilan, Toth, Sips can be used. In this section we present the mathematical model for a general isotherm and then perform simulations with a Langmuir isotherm as it is adequate to show the effect of isotherm nonlinearity on the dynamics behaviour. The adsorption isotherm takes the following functional form ... 

We finish this section by considering another isotherm equation the Toth equation, which is a popular equation in describing adsorption isotherm of numerous practical systems. It has the form ...

The Toth model describes the adsorption isotherms of pure C2H4 (component 1) and CH4 (component 2) as well as those for their binary mixtures on Nuxit charcoal fairly well [14,30], The multicomponent Toth model was used to calculate the binary gas isosteric heats of adsorption for a C2H4-CH4 mixture as functions of C2H4 gas-phase mole fraction (j i) at a total as pressure of 99.2 kPa and at a temperature of 293 K [14]. Figure 10 show the results, qc,Hi decreases as the mole fraction of that component in the gas phase increases. ch4 increases as the mole fraction of that component in the gas phase increases. This is a typical characteristic of the T oth model.

Consider a factory air space of 10 m , which is regularly contaminated with 10 ppm by volume of hydrogen sulfide, a toxic and foulsmelling gas. It is proposed to use adsorption to purify the air. Activated carbon does not lend itself to this purpose because of its low capacity, but the zeolite mordenite has a suitably high loading factor represented by the following Toth isotherm ... 

In spite of the faets mentioned in points 1, every deviation shown in Table 2 is less than the errors of measuring of an adsorption isotherm ( 2%). This means that every Toth equation with aU of the parameters tabulated in Table 2 can describe the carbon dioxide isotherm with good accuracy.
