FIXED BED ADSORBER

The Adsorption column consist of glass column filled with adsorbent. The feed is introduced from the top of the column . The solute from the feed solution is adsorbed on the adsorbent surface. After the operation the solution drain out and analysed.Steam

RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT : 

1. To study the Characteristics of adsorption with chemical reaction
2. To calculate the amount of adsorption of solute on adsorbate
3. To calculate the separation factor
4. To plot the Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
