For maximum dynamic adsorptive capacity per unit cost, this study shows optimal breakthrough level, flow velocity, bed length, and adsorbent size for a typical case of aqueous adsorbates through a granular carbon bed, regardless of adsorption mechanism and isotherm. While computed optimal adsorbent sizes are smaller than common ones, other optimal parameter values fall within their respective normal ranges.
