This document describes an experiment on adsorption of acetic acid stock solution onto activated carbon. The objectives were to study Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, determine related constants, and find the maximum adsorption capacity and surface area of activated carbon. Five flasks with varying volumes of acetic acid and activated carbon were prepared. The acetic acid concentration before and after adsorption was determined through titration. Adsorption increased with decreasing acetic acid concentration and was highest in the first flask. The data was used to calculate adsorption constants and capacities to characterize the adsorption process.

Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines LABORATORY 1

Name: Julienne R. Tabalina Date Performed: Nov. 25, 2020


Experiment No. 4
Due Date:
Course& Yr: BSCHE-5 Adsorption
Date Submitted:

1. Objectives
a. To study the adsorption of stock solution by solid adsorption such as activated
carbon
b. To study the Langmuir and Freundlich Adsorption Isotherms
c. To determine the Langmuir and Freundlich constants
d. To determine the maximum monolayer coverage capacity, number of adsorbed
layer and specific surface area of activated carbon

2. Theory
3. Materials and apparatus
A. Materials
 0.3M Acetic Acid
 Activated carbon
 0.2M Sodium Hydroxide
 Phenolphthalein indicator
 Distilled water
B. Apparatus
 Filter paper
 Beakers
 Erlenmeyer flask
 Burette
 Stirring rod
 Analytical balance
 Spatula
 Graduated cylinder

4. Procedure
a. Collect all the materials and apparatus needed to perform the procedure.
b. Prepare five 250mL Erlenmeyer flasks and label them from 1 to 5.
c. Weigh 1 gram of activated carbon for each flask using the analytical
balance. Then prepare a 0.3M acetic acid solution.
d. Measure 50, 45, 40, 35 and 30 mL of 0.3M acetic acid using the graduated
cylinder and put it on the beakers labelled also 1-5.
e. Measure 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20mL distilled water and add it on each beaker.
f. Transfer the solutions to each Erlenmeyer flask containing the activated
carbon.
g. For 30 minutes, shake the flasks periodically in order for the activated
carbon and acetic acid solution to mix.
h. Assume the temperature of each fask at room temperature after reaching
the equilibrium
i. Filter the 5 samples using the filter paper. Discard the first 3mL as a
precaution to avoid disturbing the effect of adsorption into the filter paper.
j. Measure 10mL each of filtered solution then titrate it with 0.2M NaOH
using phenolphthalein as an indicator.
k. Record the volumes of NaOH used during the titration.
