(13) could be suggested for
convenient representation of the breakthrough curves of the present
column adsorption processes. Breakthrough time that is one of
the important factors to found optimum operating conditions of
adsorption process, can determine using experimental breakthrough
curves. However, it should be noted that when the
breakthrough concentration is very low, accurate estimation of the
breakthrough time using the experimental curves will be difficult.
Eq. (13) can overcome this difficulty.
