Abstract

Studies on adsorption isotherms for anionic surfactant, n-C12H25SO4Na, in aqueousd solutions on activated carbon were carried out at different temperatures. The modified Freundlich adsorption theory was used to estimate the potential of adsorption. The isosteric heat of adsorption was calculated.
