Adsorptive removal of antibiotic pollutants from wastewater using biomass/biochar-based adsorbents. How can the above adsorbent be improved? considering this limitation: We also propose employing the partition coefficient (PC)
approach to conduct the ideal sorbent assessments, as this will
aid in assessing the adsorbents' performance metrics in real
applications. In a solid–liquid system, PC is dened as the ratio
of qmax to equilibrium concentrations. Some biosorbents/
adsorbents that have been found to be effective, based on
qmax studies, may have decreased adsorption capacity in an
ambient setting. As a result, performance metrics utilizing the
PC approach are able to provide better assessments of the
sorption capacities of different sorbents. This could also be
used for comparing the effectiveness of these biosorbents/
adsorbents
