Adsorption of Aromatic Compounds by Activated Carbon: Effects of Functional Groups and Molecular Size

The adsorption of three aromatic compounds on to an untreated carbon was investigated. The solution pH was lowered in all experiments so that all the solutes were in their molecular forms. It was shown that the difference in the maximum adsorption of the solutes was mainly a result of the difference...
