Laura Bulgariu

Yes. You can centrifuge the samples before determining the residual adsorbate concentration.

Mirosław Grzesik

Usually yes. But removing the adsorbent will affect the volume of the mixture. It is worth remembering this when calculating concentrations. Regards,

John Francis Miller

Yes, certainly.

George Oindo Achieng' Atina

Thanks a lot for your timely responses

Benabbas Khaled

yes of course, or you can let them settled which can take a long time (24 hours or more)
