Cyanide Attenuation by Granular Activated Carbon and UV-Light

Experimental and Theoretical Study on the CH4 Adsorption by Granular and Microporous Activated Carbon

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) has been widely investigated as an alternative to CNG and LNG technologies for storage and transportation of natural gas. In the present work, a theoretical and experimental study was conducted to accurately determine the amount of adsorption of CH4 by GAC. To carry out the experiments, the volumetric method was used up to 4 MPa at c...

Separation Efficiency of Glucose and Maltose from Industrial Effluent by Granular Activated Carbon

This paper describes the performance of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to adsorb and separate glucose and maltose solutes from the industrial effluents by adsorption process. In this study, the capability of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to adsorb glucose and maltose were experimentally examined. Commercial GAC (mesh 12-20), supplied by Sigma Aldrich company in...

Photodegradation of Alachlor Over Fe - TiO 2 on Granular Activated Carbon Support under UV and Visible Light

Fe-TiO2 on granular activated carbon support was synthesized via hydrothermal method without calcination. The crystalline phases were identified using X-ray diffraction whereas the surface morphologies were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Peaks of anatase TiO2 and graphite were present in the Fe-TiO2-GAC sample. Comparisons of the surface features of GAC and Fe-TiO2-GAC show that F...

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

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Selection

Granular activated carbons are a very versatile group of adsorbents, with capability for selectively adsorbing thousands of organic and certain inorganic materials. From medicinal uses of powdered carbons in ancient Egypt, through charred interiors of whiskey barrels, carbon has been activated and used as an adsorbent for centuries. Granular vapor phase activated carbon media was first widely u...
