Abstract

A new model for adsorption on rough surfaces is derived. The model predicts behavior regarding surface smoothing that agrees well with experimental observations. Computer simulations show the model capable of matching a wide variety of isotherm patterns with reasonable physical constants. These simulations also show that a significant error results in applying the standard BET equation to adsorption data obtained on rough surfaces.
