Sorption isotherm of agricultural residue of orange bagasse.

摘要: Wet bagasse can be used as an adsorbent in effluent treatment process. However, before its use a previous drying is necessary. The water activity important parameter that affects the fermentation process, and thus determination becomes most order to store this adsorbent. Thus, objective of work determine sorption isotherms orange at 25, 35 50 °C temperatures correlate moisture with activity. equilibrium content was determined by static method using salts solution for 10-80% relative humidity range. following models were fitted experimental data: Henderson, Chung-Pfost, Modified Halsey, Luikov Motta Lima. All results followed sigmodal-type function. data better represented Halsey models.
