by activation of adsorbent, it means increasing the adsorbing power of adsorbent. We can do it by following ways-
- By increasing the surface area of the adsorbent by cutting adsorbent into small pieces or powdering it.
- Some treatment can be also done to the adsorbent so that its power gets increased. example- charcoal is activated by heating it between 650 K and 1330 K in vacuum or air
