Simultaneous Adsorption of Phenol Derivatives from Water Onto Spherical Activated Carbon

What is it about?

Assuming that in the investigated range of concentrations no competitive adsorption occurred, the authors propose a method for calculating the equilibrium concentrations in the liquid phase using the equations obtained for individual components.

Why is it important?

Based on the initial concentration of the adsorbed component and the single-component adsorption model it is possible to calculate the equilibrium concentration of each component in a multicomponent system. When describing multicomponent adsorption, each component may have a different formula for sorption isotherm.
