The Freundlich equation that applies to this system is y<\/em> = k Cn<\/sup><\/em> where C<\/em> is in milligrams adsorbate per liter of solution after processing, and y<\/em> is the cumulative milligrams of adsorbate per gram of adsorbent. k<\/em> = 100 and n<\/em> = 0.30 at the temperature of the process.

What is the required flow rate of the silica gel per minute? The equilibrium relation that applies to this process is y<\/em> = 0.0375p0.65<\/sup> where y<\/em> is the grams of water per gram of silica gel and p<\/em> is the partial pressure of the water in the entering air in millimeters of Hg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calculate the concentration of DE in the exit air, assuming that the DE in the exit air is in equilibrium with the exit activated carbon. The barometer is 770 mm of Hg. The equilibrium relation for the DE is y<\/em> = 0.089p<\/em>0.51<\/sup> where y<\/em> is the grams of DE adsorbed per gram of activated charcoal, and p<\/em> is the partial pressure in the gas phase of the DE in millimeters of Hg.
