Reviewer 2 Report
In this study, the parameters from the Freundlich isotherm are connected to adsorptive saturation regimes. To expand the adsorption behavior for varied surface coverages, the authors introduce the ancient Zeldowitsch's theory. Later, they used data from three separate sets of trials discovered in the scientific literature to demonstrate the potential of their new technique by employing extremely complex and difficult-to-understand mathematical methods. To aid the reader's understanding of the new method, the authors should have detailed the methodologies utilized more thoroughly. Not all of the readers are adsorption experts.
This new methodology is not particularly novel in my opinion, and the conventional isotherms equations employed in adsorption are better than this new technique. Similarly, the authors' mathematical handling of the data is untrustworthy (numbers in table S1 are untrustworthy due to the huge number of digits given). In addition, the conclusions of the manuscript are very optimistic. More than three sets of experiments should be required to demonstrate the efficacy of the authors' protocol. Actually, there are many models showed higher and better results in adsorption fields and used by expert in this domaine.

Reviewer 3 Report
I think the work is very interesting. Is presented an algorithm-driven method which enables one to translate the data obtained in the area of small and moderate coverages to the area of adsorptive saturation regime. I consider that the authors have made a good scientific contribution in the field of the article.

Reviewer 4 Report
I have found that the material used performs well in storing co2, where the specific surface area is important. Perhaps there is another reason to investigate the adsorption of this material. Could you please describe materials used more precisely (especially use, preparation)?
Also, is it possible to determine the error with the method used?
Is it possible to determine the Freundlich isotherm using another method (instead of mercury adsorption)?
How are the results obtained according to other methods?
