19.
The correlation often employed to correlate adsorption data for protein is (where Ymax 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, KL is a constant and Y is the equilibrium value of the mass of solute adsorbed per mass of adsorbent)
Y = YmaxX/(KL+X)
Y = Ymax/(KL+X)
Y = YmaxX/KL
Y = Ymax- X/ (KL+X)
