TLDR
Overall, the sorption capacity of CFBs pyrolyzed at 300°C substantially increased for Pb2+ with ammonia and nitric acid modification, however, these chemical modifications did not improve the Sorption of Pb on CFBspyrolyzing at temperatures ≥500°C, thereby highlighting a temperature dependent response of chemically modified biochars to Pb sorption in this study.

The adsorption of gases on plane surfaces of glass, mica and platinum.

TL;DR: In this article, the absorption index at the wave length of the band maximum was found to be proportional to the total concentration of metal at shorter wave lengths, however, deviations were observed, the absorption increasing more rapidly with concentration than Beers' law would demand.
