Application of biosorption for the removal of organic pollutants: a review
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines a wide variety of microorganisms (fungi, yeasts, bacteria, etc.), which are capable of uptake of organic pollutants, discusses various mechanisms involved in biosorption, discusses the effects of various parameters such as pH, temperature, concentrations of organic pollutant, other ions, and biomass in solution, pretreatment method, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial biosorbents and biosorption
TL;DR: The present review highlights the necessity for the examination of biosorbents within real situations, as competition between solutes and water quality may affect the biosorption performance.

Adsorption of phenol and its derivatives from water using synthetic resins and low-cost natural adsorbents: a review
Su-Hsia Lin,Ruey-Shin Juang +1 more
TL;DR: The technical feasibility of the use of activated carbon, synthetic resins, and various low-cost natural adsorbents for the removal of phenol and its derivatives from contaminated water has been reviewed and it should be noted that the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the individual adsorbENT, the extent of chemical modifications, and the concentrations of solutes.

Fixed-bed adsorption of reactive azo dye onto granular activated carbon prepared from waste.
Anees Ahmad,B.H. Hameed +1 more
TL;DR: The BGAC was shown to be suitable adsorbent for adsorption of RB5 using fixed-bed adsorptive column and fitted well to the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models with coefficients of correlation R(2)>or=0.93 at different conditions.

Use of rice husk for the adsorption of congo red from aqueous solution in column mode
TL;DR: It was concluded that the rice husk column can remove CR from solution andThomas model was found suitable for the normal description of breakthrough curve at the experimental condition, while Adams-Bohart model was only for a initial part of dynamic behavior of the rice Husk column.

Adsorption of phenols by papermill sludges.
TL;DR: Experimental data showed that particle diffusion was involved in the sorption process but was not the only rate-limiting mechanism; several other mechanisms were involved.

Sorption of phenol and para-chlorophenol from water using conventional and novel activated carbons
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of the sorption of phenol and p-chlorophenol from water has been performed using novel samples prepared by carbonisation and subsequent activation of straw and used rubber typres as well as conventional activated carbons based on coal, coconut shell and wood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the cost and performance of field-scale granular activated carbon systems.
TL;DR: It is clear that a variety of reactive atmospheric hydrocarbons (toluene, propylene, acetaldehyde, allyl chloride) can be converted into products that are potentially much more mutagenic than the reactants themselves.

Removal of phenol compounds from olive mill wastewater using Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus and Geotrichum candidum
I García García,P.R. Jiménez Peña,J.L. Bonilla Venceslada,A. Martín Martín,MA Martín Santos,E. Ramos Gómez +5 more
TL;DR: The capability and kinetic behaviour of several fungi to deal with such a waste reducing the phenol content of OMW was studied and the removal of total phenols relative to the total organic load consumed might indicate a measure of the selectivity with which the microorganisms remove phenols among other organic compounds present.
