Can a material with a lower percentage removal have the maximum adsorption capacity (qm) when comparing two materials using Langmuir isotherm? If so, what are the causes of the highest adsorption capacity?
Yes, a material with a lower percentage removal can still have a higher maximum adsorption capacity (qmq_mqm) when comparing two materials using the Langmuir isotherm. The percentage removal is related to how effectively a material removes a contaminant from the solution at a given concentration and under specific conditions, while qmq_mqm represents the theoretical maximum amount of adsorbate that a material can adsorb per unit mass of adsorbent when the surface is fully covered.
This discrepancy can occur due to several reasons:
