REMOVAL OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY BIOSORPTION ONTO ACACIA LEUCOCEPHALA BARK POWDER: EQUILIBRIUM AND KINETIC STUDIES

The aim of this work is to determine the potential application of Acacia leucocephala bark powder as a biosorbent for removing phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions. Experiments were carried out as function of initial pH (2-10), contact time, initial concentration of adsórbate (100-400 mg/L), an...
