In a batch adsorption process, 5 g of fresh adsorbent is used to treat 1 liter of an aqueous phenol solution. The initial phenol concentration is 100 mg/liter. The equilibrium relation is given by
where
is the amount of phenol adsorbed in mg of phenol per gram of adsorbent, and
is the concentration of phenol in mg/liter in the aqueous solution.
When equilibrium is attained between the adsorbent and the solution, the concentration of phenol in the solution, rounded to 1 decimal place, is __________ mg/liter.Log in to check the answer
