3.9. Desorption and reusability of adsorbent
Desorption of adsorbed molecules from the adsorbent surface
facilitates the reusability of the adsorbent. From the pH studies, it
was observed that the adsorption of TCP decreases with an increase
in pH. This implies that, at basic pH, the adsorbed TCP molecules
can be desorbed from the adsorbent
