q e = q m F S K F S C e 1 + q m C e M F S

o Due to large number of coefficients, makes it to fit a wide range of experimental results, where, qmFS = qmax, KFS is equilibrium constant and MFS is exponent. And if MFS = 1 it becomes the Langmuir and high concentrations reduces to Freundlich, The constants are evaluated by nonlinear regression analysis.

o Define more wide range of adsorption systems, where qmFS = qmax and K1, K2, αFS & βFS are parameter constants. And this model approaches Langmuir model when the value of αFS and βFS equals 1; for higher concentrations it reduces to Freundlich model.
