Question: Phenol present in an aqueous solution is to be removed by adsorption with activated carbon. The initial concentration of phenol in the solution is 0.25

Phenol present in an aqueous solution is to be removed by adsorption with activated carbon. The initial concentration of phenol in the solution is 0.25 kg/m. Three cubic meters of this solution is treated to reduce the phenol content to 10% of this value. Adsorption equilibrium is represented by the Freundlich isotherm = 0.2023 where q is the adsorbate loading, kg phenol/kg carbon and C is the concentration, kg phenolm of solution. Calculate (1) The quantity of fresh carbon required for single-stage adsorption (11) The quantity of carbon required in a two-stage counter current adsorption
