Hi
Not clear what you are asking ! Let you use the search button for adsorption process . Now you still have the possibility to perform tests in your lab.

Hi,

In Pharmaceutical Industry ,Carbon treatment has been given to improve the colour and transperency of Liquid at hot temperatur to facilitate good absorption Such as in case of Cephalexin Hydrochloride

In India; Generally Sparkler Filter -Leaf Filter is used .There are standard Models available.Please consult manufacture to select standard Model for your duty.
