Yes, It can be predicted easily if we know the rate of adsorption. Adsorption is a first order reaction so the time of saturation can be predicted.

Thank´s Gurav... But I am not seeing how! I have a adosrbation of water vapour from a air flow 30 l/s and I know that 145 kg activate alluminium is satured over 180s whit a pressure dew point -40ºC,  How could I predicte how much time this 145 kg activate alluminium be saturated in a pressure dew point of -20ºC at the same flow. Which assumptions I need to make?
