Adsorption Characteristics of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxybutric Acid Using Bamboo Activated Carbon in a Fixed Bed

Fixed-bed Adsorption of Trichloroethylene onto Activated Carbon

The present work deals with the study of the adsorption of Trichloroethylene (TCE) onto a commercial granular activated carbon (GAC). Thermodynamic (batch) and dynamic (fixed-bed column) tests were carried out, under a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, adsorption isotherms were preliminary determined to support the investigation on a fixed-bed column at lab-scale. The main flui...

Fixed Bed Adsorption Studies of Rhodamine B Dye Using Oil Palm Empty Fruits Bunch Activated Carbon

Global environmental pollution challenges can be alleviated if proper disposal and conversion of wastes is promoted. An attempt of converting waste to wealth was made in this study by converting oil palm empty fruits bunch to activated carbon through chemical activation with potassium hydroxide which was used for adsorption of Rhodamine B dye from waste water. Fixed-bed column adsorption system...

Competitive adsorption of furfural and phenolic compounds onto activated carbon in fixed bed column.

For a multicomponent competitive adsorption of furfural and phenolic compounds, a mathematical model was builtto describe the mass transfer kinetics in a fixed bed column with activated carbon. The effects of competitive adsorption equilibrium constant, axial dispersion, external mass transfer, and intraparticle diffusion resistance on the breakthrough curve were studied for weakly adsorbed com...

Nickel removal from electroplating industry wastewater: A bamboo activated carbon

Water is prime requirement for surviving of any living beings.  The existence of surface water and groundwater sources are used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes in all over the world. Fresh water from both the water sources is highly contaminated in recent years because of rapid population growth, modern agriculture and industrial growth. Among them, contamination of water sour...
