Fundamentally, isotherm curves of adsorption can provide reasonable information to explain the mechanism of the adsorption process. Thus, equilibrium data in which the variation of adsorption quantity is expressed versus the concentration of Sodium chloride or Lithium chloride on hepta-Helicenes were collected under various experimental conditions (temperature, pH, etc) by using Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique. The experimental results show that the adsorption process attains a saturation level when a limited number of layers was adsorbed. For modeling analysis, advanced models established in light of a statistical physics treatment describing the adsorption process have been tested and discussed in this paper. Based on the experimental results, the adsorption mechanism was interpreted theoretically via the chosen model parameters. It is interesting to note that the numbers n(1) and n(2) of bonded ions per site values of the two studied ions are similar. In addition, this parameter had a linear tendency with temperature for the two ions. This showed that the thermal agitation has the same effect on the two adsorbed ions. The adsorption mechanism was characterized by energetic parameters showing that the adsorption of Sodium and Lithium on Hepta-Helicenes was physisorption with a tendency toward a chemisorption process. Thanks to the adopted model, three classical thermodynamic functions have been calculated and interpreted to describe macroscopic thermodynamic potentials of the investigated process.
