Urethane copolymer sorbent materials that incorporate β-cyclodextrin (CD) have been prepared and their sorption properties with chlorinated aromatic compounds (i.e., pentachlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) have been evaluated. The sorption properties of granular activated carbon (GAC) were similarly compared in aqueous solution at variable pH conditions. The s...

• Estimating the expansion of granular activated carbon (GAC) in water is complex. The incipient porosity GAC much higher compared to rigid particles. Combining fluidisation and characterisation experiments enables modelling. modelling complex but possible. Granular filtration an important unit operation drinking treatment. widely used for its adsorption capabilities as a barrier undesired orga...

The use and effectiveness of granular and powder activated carbon made from agricultural waste (coconut shell) in the removal of organic matter in wastewater effluents from a brewery industry were investigated. The effect of process variables such as carbonisation temperature, carbonisation duration and activation temperature on the production and quality of activated carbon was studied. Experi...
