Guggenheim Adsorption rule states that the majority/minority component enrich the interface<br />
for negative/positive mixing energy <strong>of</strong> a binary mixture, if surface tension doesn’t play an important<br />
role. We perform molecular dynamics simulation <strong>of</strong> Binary Lennard-Jones liquid mixtures at the<br />
interface created by a non-preferential wall. We show that the Guggenheim Adsorption rule is obeyed<br />
for the negative mixing energy and violated for positive mixing energy at such interface which is<br />
validated by Density-Functional-Theory using Ramakrishnan-Yussouff functional. We argue that<br />
such violation is due to the dominance <strong>of</strong> the entropy <strong>of</strong> the liquid mixture.
