The following list describes the available specification choices in this tab; for more details on how these are implemented, see Packed-Bed Adsorption: Modeling Calculations.
•Langmuir Correlation...
When using the Langmuir Correlation, choose K1, K2 such that the theoretical capacity is in mg adsorbate per g of packing material (adsorbent).
•Freundlich Correlation...
Similarly, when using the Freundlich Correlation, choose k and n such that the theoretical capacity is in mg adsorbate per g of packing material (adsorbent).
