Plots
Under the Plots subtab, several plots are available.
Properties of the axis and graph can be modified for all plots. Right click the graph to access the settings menus. With Edit Axis Settings, scaling, labels and ticks of the axis as well as font sizes and legend placement can be selected. With Edit Graph Styles, title, style and color can be defined for each graph shown in the plot. In the menu that appears after right clicking the graph the data contained in the plot can be saved as well. More details on changing plot settings are available in the Result Viewer user guide.
Isotherm
The Isotherm plot shows the applied Isotherm, i.e., Equilibrium Sorbate Loading over the Solute Concentration. This plot is identical to the one shown when setting up the adsorption reaction in the Adsorption - Interaction tab. Additionally, the Maximum Loading possible with this structure and the interaction settings as well as the defined Inlet Concentration are shown.

Breakthrough Curve
The Breakthrough Curve plot shows the Outlet Concentration of the solute over time. The Inlet Concentration shown as a dashed blue line is the maximum value that this plot can reach and was defined under the Adsorbate subtab. When available the characteristic times (Breakthrough, Stochiometric, and Saturation) are displayed as vertical dashed lines. Additionally, a Predicted Stochiometric Time is shown as a dotted green line. This value is based on the same computation as the Approximate End Time button that is available when setting up the adsorption simulation.

Total Uptake
The Total Uptake plot shows the total amount of adsorbed species in mol over time and in addition to the breakthrough curve provides a good indication of the full saturation time. The maximum of this plot is the Equilibrium Uptake that depends on the structure and parameters set under the Adsorption - Interaction tab
|
Layered Data
The Layered Data plot consists of two separate plots showing the Solute Concentration in mol/m3 and the Sorbate Loading in mol/kg for each layer in the Z direction, which is the fixed computation direction. For each batch one graph is added to the plot allowing you to see the progress of adsorption occurring throughout the structure. For a clearer plot, right-click the plot area to access the Graph Styles to select only some of batches to be shown.
