Correlation pegs adsorption limits of activated carbon for chlorinated petchems in water

This article presents a correlation that accurately estimates the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for removing chlorinated petrochemicals in water. Results use the Freundlich equation for adsorption capacity as a function of the compound concentration in aqueous liquid. The correlation const...

Description
Summary:This article presents a correlation that accurately estimates the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for removing chlorinated petrochemicals in water. Results use the Freundlich equation for adsorption capacity as a function of the compound concentration in aqueous liquid. The correlation constants are presented in a tabular format, which makes for rapid engineering use. Correlation and experimental results agree favorably.
