Abstract

The adsorption of phenol, p-chlorophenol and mercuric ions from aqueous solution onto activated carbon has been studied in fixed bed columns. The influence of varying parameters such as bed depth, solution flowrate and pollutant concentration has been studied. The Bed Depth Service Time has been used to analyse the experimental data and identify design correlations. Furthermore, an optimization procedure based on the Empty Bed Residence Time has been applied to the data.
