Abstract

A two-step resistance model has been developed for the adsorption of dyes on carbon. The model is based on external mass transfer and pore diffusion an. The model enables the performance of an agitated batch adsorber to be predicted. A single diffusivity and external mass transfer coefficient is suffici.
