ACTIVATED CARBON ADSORPTION

Introducing the parameters and mechanisms involved in the activated carbon adsorption of organic and inorganic compounds, this text brings together the most significant research on surface structure and processes, adsorption theories and isotherm equations, and applications from the latest literature on carbon adsorption. The book explains surface-related interactions of activated carbons, energetics, and the applicability of adsorption isotherm equations. It also discusses carbon molecular sieves and environmental applications, including the process of removing organics, inorganics, and other toxins from wastewater, ground water, and industrial flue gases.
