Efficient removal of acetic acid by a regenerable resin-based spherical activated carbon

Carboxylic acids are the main pollutant of industrial wastewater during the advanced oxidation process (AOPs). In this study, a resin-based spherical activated carbon (RSAC, AF5) as an adsorbent was examined and acetic acid was used as a model substrate for adsorption investigation. The pH = 3, temp...
