Entropy goes on decreasing as adsorption continues...

and, adsorption is an exothermic process (in general)...

since entropy goes on decreasing, the adsorption sites are getting filled...this ,hence, decreases enthalpy...hence, \Delta H-T\Delta S \;factor\;goes \;on\;increasing\;and\;eventually\;gets\;0
