3.2.1 Mechanism of Adsorption using Adsorbent
Figure 3.1 Mechanism of Adsorption
Adsorption principles: The basic principle of operation for
carbon adsorption is the mass transfer and adsorption of a molecule from a
liquid or gas into solid surface. Activated carbon is manufactured in such a
way as to produce extremely porus carbon particles whose internal surface
area is very large .This porous structure attracts and holds organic molecules
as well as certain metal and inorganic molecules. Adsorption occurs because
