Adsorption of selected endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs)/pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) onto granular activated carbon (GAC) : effect of single and multiple solutes

Comparative potential of black tea leaves waste to granular activated carbon in adsorption of endocrine disrupting compounds from aqueous solution

The adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. The results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds from Aqueous Solution by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in Batch System

Chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics are the major volatile organic compounds that contaminate the ground water and industrial waste waters. The best way to overcome this problem is to recover the dissolved compounds in water. In order to evaluate the potential ability of granular activated carbon (GAC) for recovery of volatile organic compounds from water, the equilibrium adsorption was inve...

Adsorption Kinetics of Phenolic Compounds onto Activated Carbon

Aqueous-phase edsorption equilibrium and kinetic mechanism of phenol, 3-chlorophenol rnd o-cresol onto Norit Granular Activaied Caibon (NAC 1240) were studied in a batch system at temperature of 30 oC, agitation speed of 120 rpm, initial phenol concentrations of 25-200 mg/t. The elfects of initid phenol concentration and time of adsorption on phenol adsorption process were lnvestigated. The ads...
