Adsorption of iodine from aqueous solutions by samples of tire yarn from regenerated cellulose

The adsorption of iodine by rayon tire yarn samples from aqueous solutions in which the concentration of iodide and triiodide ions is suppressed was studied. Fowler and Guggenheim's model of adsorption on regular localized monolayers appeared to be applicable to the adsorption phenomena considered. It is concluded that adsorption takes place on patches of sites in the cellulose–water gel.
