Simulation of the adsorption capacity of polar organic compounds and dyes from water onto activated carbons: Model development and validation

A model approach is developed to simulate the adsorption isotherms of low-molecular-weight polar organic compounds (LMWPOCs), halogenated LMWPOCs, and dye molecules onto activated carbons (AC). The models were based on the Dubinin–Astakhov equation, with the limiting pore volume of adsorbent estimat...
