Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations of a simple model system representative of adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces highlight the importance of accounting for lateral interactions in the adsorbed phase. Analysis of the Monte Carlo isotherms for two differently-structured model surfaces, using the adsorption integral equation with a local Langmuir isotherm, provides a physical interpretation of the calculated mean adsorption energy. A complete thermodynamic description of the model system, including the various forms of the heat of adsorption, is tabulated.
