Adsorption of phenolic compounds by activated carbon—a critical review

An experimental and theoretical study of the adsorption of aromatics possessing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functional groups by chemically modified activated carbons

Removal of emerging contaminants of concern by alternative adsorbents.

Adsorption of NOM onto activated carbon: Electrostatic and non-electrostatic effects

Activated carbon adsorption of humic substances: II. Size exclusion and electrostatic interactions

The molecular-thermodynamic model described in Part I is extended to systems containing two or more solutes in aqueous solution. Calculated results are in good agreement with new experimental adsorption data for bisolute systems containing paranitrophenol/benzoic acid and aniline/benzoic acid. In Part I, we described a molecular-thermodynamic model for adsorption equilibria of a partially dissociated organic solute adsorbing onto activated carbon surfaces from dilute aqueous solution. In this work we extend that model to aqueous solutions containing two or more partially dissociated solutes.
