  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007551",
  "term": "Monolayer capacity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The maximum amount of adsorbate that can form a complete monolayer on the surface of an adsorbent. This value is typically determined from adsorption isotherms, such as the Langmuir or Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherms. It is expressed in units of moles or mass of adsorbate per unit mass of adsorbent.",
