There is a special reason for reviewing this book at this time: it is the 50th edition of a compendium that is known and used frequently in most chemical and physical laboratories in many parts of the world. Surely, a publication that has been published for 56 years, withstanding the vagaries of science in this century, must have had something to offer. There is another reason: while the book is a standard fixture in most chemical and physical laboratories, including those in medical centers, it is not as frequently seen in the laboratories of physician's offices (those either in solo or group practice). I believe that the Handbook can be useful in those laboratories. One of the reasons, among others, is that the various basic items of information it offers may be helpful in new tests, either physical or chemical, which are continuously being published. The basic information may relate

Los datos experimentales de adsorcion del salicilato sobre carbon activado se interpretaron satisfactoriamente por la isoterma Prausnitz-Radke. La capacidad de adsorcion aumenta al disminuir el pH, pero disminuye al aumentar la temperatura y cuando }l carbon se oxida con HNO3. A pH de 5 y 11, la capacidad aumenta ligeramente con la adicion de NaCl, pero no a pH de 3. Se concluye que el mecanismo de adsorcion del salicilato es dependiente del pH y de la interaccion entre la molecula del salicilato y la superficie del carbon

Adsorción de salicilato de sodio en solución acuosa sobre carbón activado

The effects of solvent, particle size and temperature on the adsorption isotherm for phenol on to activated carbon were investigated in this work. The first two effects were studied by determining the adsorption isotherm at 298 K in both aqueous and cyclohexane solutions, and using particle diameters of 0.338, 0.635, 0.940 and 1.494 mm. The last effect was analyzed by measuring the adsorption isotherm at temperatures of 283 K, 298 K and 313 K in both solvents, and using a particle diameter of 0.940 mm. It was found that in the aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed is greater than that in the cyclohexane solution, which was attributed to the fact that phenol has a higher affinity for cyclohexane than for water. Furthermore, the results revealed that in aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed increased when the particle size decreased and was slightly reduced by an increase in the temperature; however, in cyclohexane solution, the amount of phenol adsorbed was independent of particle size an...
