Assessment of the surface area occupied by molecules on activated carbon from liquid phase adsorption data from a combination of the BET and the Freundlich theories
A new equation is derived from a combination of the BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller) and Freundlich isotherms fitted for liquid phase adsorption data on activated carbons. This equation, depending on the Freundlich parameters and the equilibrium adsorption-desorption constant can be used for assessment of the Surface area occupied by the solute molecules on a surface in a liquid phase system under some conditions.
