A solute protein is to be separated from a liquid phase in a chromatographic column. The ad-
sorption isotherm is given by the following equation: where is the solute concentration in solid phase (mg solute/mg adsorbent) and is the
liquid phase concentration of solute (mg solute/ml liquid). Use the following information:
a. For V = 400 ml and X = 25 cm determine the equilibrium solute concentrations in liquid
and solid phases.
b. Determine the ratio of travel distances of solute to solvent,
