We present a critique of the Halsey isotherm model (also known as Frenkel–Halsey–Hill), which is used by many researchers to interpret water contaminant adsorption data. We first convert the original Halsey isotherm for gasphase adsorption to a form appropriate for liquid-phase adsorption. We call...
