What is the iodine value of spent carbon?How iodine value
is used to determine the power of carbon to adsorb?

Answer Posted / baskar

Iodine value is the milligrams of iodine consumed or
absorbed per gram of carbon.It is used to determine the
adsorption power of carbon.

More the iodine value more is the adsorption and viceversa.
For fresh carbon iodine value is more than 1000 and for
spent carbon it is less than 500.The more the value is low
it means that it is used effectively.
