Adsorption of Acid on Charcoal: The pH-pK Relationship at the Adsorption Maximum

The adsorption of quinoline and/or 8-hydroxyquinoline on charcoal was studied as a function of pH and concentration for the purpose of investigating the relationship between the pH at the adsorption maximum and the pKa, of the organic acid cation. Equations based on the theory of Langmuir were deriv...
