چکیده مقاله:

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 the UK was used in this work. The parameters affecting the sorbate adsorption such as the pH of the solution, initial solution concentration, shaking time and speed, sorbent dose and temperature were tested. Additionally, the adsorption equilibrium isotherm was also tested using the common isotherm modules; Langmuir and Freundlich. GAC exhibited a capability to adsorb glucose and maltose from the industrial effluent. Also, the glucose adsorption process was physical and in good agreement with the Freundlich isotherm model, while, the maltose adsorption process was a physical and the adsorption data can be adequately described by the Freundlich and Langmuir models.

Modeling studies for adsorption of phenol and co-pollutants onto granular activated carbon prepared from olive oil industrial waste

Granular activated carbon (OSAC) which was derived from olive oil industrial solid waste was chemically activated with different concentrations of phosphoric acid. OSAC-materials were evaluated for their ability to remove phenol from aqueous solution in a batch technique. Adsorption isotherms were determined and modeled with five linear Langmuir forms, namely the Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin, Ki...
