The simplified local density approach (SID) is extended to the Elliott-Sure
sh-Donohue (ESD) equation of state for the modeling of gas adsorption on ac
tivated carbon, providing significant improvement in quantitative modeling
compared to the SLD approach using the Peng-Robinson equation of state or t
he van der Waals equation. Compared to the Peng-Robinson and van der Waals
equations, the ESD equation more accurately represents the temperature depe
ndence of adsorption.
