Question about adsorption on activated carbon
« on: November 08, 2014, 09:54:31 AM »
I need to determine the adsorptive capacity of an activated carbon. The adsorbates I'm using are iodine and methylene blue.

The way I do it is, I mix 50 ml of each solution with 1 g of activated carbon and shake them for 24 hours. Then I determine the final concentration, and substract it from the original one.

The question is: are the results dependant on the original concentration I use?

Thanks.

Nothing replaces a good experiment. Why not test it and see?
