Effect of Hydrogen Ion Presence in Adsorbent and Solution to Enhance Phosphate Adsorption

In this paper, the effect of hydrogen ions on the adsorption onto granular activated carbon (GAC) with the inorganic contaminant phosphate, which exists as a form of four species depending on the solution pH, is investigated. Various batch isotherm and kinetic experiments were conducted in an initia...
