I want to calculate the ion exchange capacity of theoretically for polybezimidazolium polymer structure. Is there any equation has to use please specify.
The Langmuir isotherm is a commonly used model to calculate the adsorption capacity of an adsorbate, as described by the following equation:
(Ce/qe)=(Ce/qmax)+(1/bqmax)
where qe (mg g - 1) is the amount of metal adsorbed per unit weight of the resin at equilibrium, Ce (mg L - 1) is the equilibrium metal ion concentration in an aqueous solution, qmax (mg g - 1) and b (L mg - 1) are the Langmuir constants related to the adsorption capacity and free energy or net enthalpy of adsorption, respectively. The relationship between Ce/qe versus Ce is linear, and the constants qmax and b are evaluated from the slope and intercept of the linear plot, respectively.
