The Use of Columns Packed with Chicken Feathers for the Removal of Phenol from Aqueous Solutions

The Use of Columns Packed with Chicken Feathers for the Removal of Phenol from Aqueous Solutions

The removal of phenol from aqueous solutions by adsorption on to chicken feathers was studied experimentally using a fixed bed system, the effects of bed depth, feed flow rate and feed concentration on the breakthrough behaviour being investigated. Breakthrough curves showed the constant pattern beh...
