Effect of Functional Groups and pH on the Affinity and Adsorption Capacity of Activated Carbon: Comparison of Homogeneous and Binary Langmuir Model Parameters

The adsorption of p -nitrophenol (an electrolyte) and nitrobenzene (a non-electrolyte) on activated carbon was carried out at 301 K under controlled pH conditions. The experimental isotherms were fitted to the homogeneous Langmuir model and the binary Langmuir model. Variation of the model parameter...
