THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF ADSORPTION MODELS OF PHENOL IN LIQUID PHASE ON DIFFERENT ACTIVATED CARBONS

This paper studies the thermodynamic aspects of the processes of adsorption of phenol from dilute aqueous solutions on different commercial carbons, evaluating how to optimize the removal of this persistent contaminant. Two powdered activated carbons from two different companies were used: Tetrahedr...
