Journal ArticleDOI
Sorption kinetics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons removal using granular activated carbon: Intraparticle diffusion coefficients
TL;DR: Granular activated carbon was evaluated as a suitable sorbent for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons removal from aqueous solutions and the Weber and Morris intraparticle diffusion model made a double contribution to the surface and pore diffusivities in the sorption process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous phosphate and ammonium removal from aqueous solution by a hydrated aluminum oxide modified natural zeolite
TL;DR: In this article, a natural zeolite (Z-N) was modified by incorporation of hydrated aluminum oxide (HAlO) for the simultaneous phosphate and ammonium removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenol removal from aqueous solution by adsorption and ion exchange mechanisms onto polymeric resins
TL;DR: The removal of phenol from aqueous solution was evaluated by using a nonfunctionalized hyper-cross-linked polymer Macronet MN200 and two ion exchange resins, Dowex XZ and AuRIX 100, and the Langmuir model describes successfully the phenol removal onto the three resins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and distribution of biogenic and pollutant hydrocarbons, pcbs and ddt in tissues of western mediterranean fishes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported data on hydrocarbons, PCBs and total DDT in muscle, liver and gonads of Mullas barbatus collected along the Catalan Coast (NW Mediterrenean).
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of sorption of polyaromatic hydrocarbons onto granular activated carbon and Macronet hyper-cross-linked polymers (MN200)
TL;DR: Graphical analysis showed that the sorption process with activated carbon is a more complex process than the one observed for hyper-cross-linked polymers (MN200), and a simulation of the barrier thickness needed to treat a PAH-polluted plume showed that 0.1-1 m of sorption media is enough even for high water fluxes.
