“…We make note that similar monolayer capacities were determined for PAHs on activated carbon: 2.70 × 10 14 , 1.98 × 10 14 , and 1.81 × 10 14 molecule cm -2 for naphthalene, acenaphthylene, and fluorene, respectively, by Walters and Luthy (33), and 1.30 × 10 14 , 1.51 × 10 14 , 1.40 × 10 14 , and 1.24 × 10 14 molecule cm -2 for o-cresol, nitrobenzene, o-methoxyphenol, and quinaldine, respectively, on activated carbon by Martin and Al-Bahrani (34). For sorption of phenanthrene to combusted lake sediments, Cornelissen and Gustafsson (35) obtained a saturated surface coverage ranging from 2.0 × 10 13 to 1.0 × 10 14 molecule cm -2 .…”
