activated carbons were optimized for their solute removal efficacies
by adjusting feed mixture compositions and process conditions. Acetaminophen,
benzotriazole, and caffeine were used either individually or as binary/ternary
mixtures in this study. The process conditions considered were the
pH, adsorbent dosage, and type of adsorbent. Experimental responses
such as total adsorbent loading (
