Abstract
Multicomponent adsorption equilibria of phenols on activated carbon were predicted by the ideal adsorbed solution (IAS) theory and results were compared with those calculated from two different Freundlich-type isotherms. Although some deviations between measured and calculated results are observed, the IAS theory permits rapid and relatively accurate predictions of adsorption equilibria for two-and three-component systems comparing with other isotherms. The results obtained show that the IAS theory is quite suitable for the extended application to multicomponent adsorption systems.
