Abstract In this work, lead(II) adsorption on activated carbons, tire-derived carbon (TAC), and commercial (CAC), in a packed-bed column, was simulated using the Aspen Adsorption® V11 flowsheet simulator. The simulator used to model fixed-bed column establish breakthrough curves by varying initial concentration of ions (500 mg/L, 1000 2000 3000 mg/L), bed height (0.2 m, 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 m), flow...

A continuous fixed bed study was carried out by using PAN-oxime-nano Fe2O3 as a sorbent for the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution. The effect of factors, such as flow rate (2, 5 and 7 mL/min) and bed depth (5, 10 and 15 cm) were studied. Data confirmed that the breakthrough curves were dependent on flow rate and bed depth. The adsoption capacities observed in diffent conditions of flow r...
