Adsorption of ethyl benzoate on activated carbon

The kinetics of adsorption of ethyl benzoate from solutions in ethanol on coconut shell activated carbon was studied. It was found that the kinetics of adsorption of ethyl benzoate can be described by pseudofirst-order and pseudo-second-order rate equations with the same accuracy. It was established that the adsorption isotherm at a concentration to 2 g/L in the initial solution is adequately described by the Langmuir equation.
