Recently, we proposed a new four-parametric MGAB equation (modified Guggenheim–Anderson–De Boer equation, GAB) for fitting of experimental isotherms of vapor-phase sorption on geosorbents. In the present study, the theoretical meaning of MGAB equation was elucidated. For this purpose, the properties of the equation of multilayer adsorption on a heterogeneous surface with local characteristics described by GAB model and Zeldovitsh–Roginskiy energy distribution function
ρ(
) were derived and the satisfaction of MGAB equation with these properties was shown. MGAB model has two parameters connected with GAB model:
vm is the monolayer sorption capacity and
k is the constant of the multilayer sorption, as well as two parameters of sorption energy distribution function
ρ(
):
α, characterizing heterogeneity of
ρ(
) and
C0, reflecting energy baseline. The influence of parameters
α and
C0 on the shape of both
ρ(
) and model sorption isotherm was established. The applicability of MGAB model for the description of surface heterogeneity of a natural sorbent by example of 13 different sorbate–sorbent systems dried and moistened has been discussed. For these systems equilibrium sorption isotherms were measured, corresponding energy distribution functions
ρ(
) were calculated, and obtained
α values were compared. On the whole, the differences in
α values responded to the real tendencies of heterogeneity changes in these systems.
