Overview

abstract

• The objective of this review is to discuss the history of the use of the Freundlich isotherm in investigating adsorption processing of vegetable oils and to evaluate its current value in adsorption studies. The Freundlich isotherm was originally developed to explain the adsorption of a single solute from solution. However, a similar adsorption pattern has been observed when studying a more complex system of adsorption of vegetable oil pigments onto bleaching clay during commercial bleaching of vegetable oils. The Freundlich isotherm has been useful for decades in finding the commercial value of adsorbents as long as a narrow experimental interval of adsorbate is used. More recent studies have shown that a complex series of interactions controls the adsorption process. While the isotherm summarizes these interactions, investigating them is vital to understand the physicochemical factors involved during adsorption. Statistical modeling and spectroscopy are useful in understanding the vegetable oil bleaching/refining process as a multiple-component adsorption system.
