The table shows the adsorption data for the adsorption of Lead ion using Commercial activated

carbon (Kaanan & Veemaraj, 2008).

Solution:

The concentration of lead ions taken from Arbabi, Hemati & Amiri (2015) is between 200-500

ppm the group will use 300 ppm as the basis for the computations.
