Fig. 10From: Metal ion removal using a low-cost coconut shell activated carbon bioadsorbent in the recovery of lactic acid from the fermentation brothLinear fit of the A Freundlich, B Langmuir, and C Temkin isotherm models for free lactic acid, calcium, and lactate adsorbed onto CMC-CSAC. The CMC-CSAC adsorbent was prepared by grafting 5Â g raw CSAC with 10Â mL solution containing 2% CMC and 20% CA for 16Â h. The batch adsorption was carried out at pH 6, room temperature with a 10:1 ratio of the solution to the adsorbent loadingBack to article page
