Description :
A batch system was applied to study the adsorption of some substituted phenol from
aqueous solution by granular activated carbon. Removal and recovery of aromatic
pollutants from water by solid adsorbents have been of considerable concern recently
.The compliance of discharge limit by pollution control boards in most cost effective
manner is problem the industries are facing .The GAC treatment is one of the best
alternative because of its reuse by regeneration. In the present investigation various
hydroxyl substituted phenols as priority pollutants were taken .Adsorption equilibrium
and kinetics were studied on GAC namely F-300 . The various physico- chemical
parameters associated with equiliribrium and adsorption rate are investigated. All
adsorbates were analyzed by UV absorption theory. The adsorption data were analyzed
by Langmuir isotherm equation and adsorbate removal rate calculated from kinetic
data based on Langmuir theory.
