The correlation often employed to correlate adsorption data for protein is (where Y_max is the maximum amount of solute adsorbed per mass of adsorbent, X is the mass fraction of solute in the diluent phase in solute-free basis, K_L is a constant and Y is the equilibrium value of the mass of solute adsorbed per mass of adsorbent)
