On the Adsorption Kinetics and Equilibrium of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons from Aqueous Solution

The purpose of the present work was to explore the removal of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, fluorene and acenaphtene) (PAHs) from aqueous solution onto an activated carbon. The adsorption performance of these compounds (both kinetic and equilibrium) has been discussed in terms...
