The adsorption of CO2 on
commercial activated carbon
WG12 and WG12 modified by ZnCl2 and KOH was investigated
using a high pressure Sievert’s apparatus. The experimental
data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth, Unilan,
Ftitz–Schlunder, and Redlich–Peterson equations. An
error analysis was performed to examine the effect of using different
error criteria for the isotherm parameters determination. Five error
analysis methods were used: the sum of the squares of errors, the
hybrid fractional error function, the average relative error, the
Marquardt’s percent standard deviation, and the sum of the
absolute errors. The Sips isotherm provided the best quality of fitting
for all the experimental data. Error function analysis found that
sum of the squares of the errors and hybrid fractional error function
provided the best overall results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
