In the context of my research on a biopolymer with adsorption properties for water treatment applications, I would like to inquire about the number of analyses that would be required to substantiate a publication in a Q1 journal.
Yasser Alharbi, for your biopolymer research in a Q1 journal, ensure you conduct thorough analyses: Characterize materials via Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) for surface area and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH)for pore size, using XRD, FTIR and TGA for Structural, Functional and Thermal Properties. Perform adsorption studies with models like Langmuir and assess thermodynamics. Test the biopolymer's reusability over multiple cycles without significant performance loss.
By thoroughly conducting these analyses, you'll provide a comprehensive understanding of your biopolymer's capabilities, aligning with the expectations of high-impact journals.
I hope this will be helpful.
Warm regars,

BET is good option for adsorption study and has also equation for that. You should go according.
Dear
You can use BET analyse to know the specific surface area of your product, than you can use XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX vto know the crystalinity and function groups, finally TGA analysis to know the thermal stability of your adsorbent.
