“…ACs have been used as adsorbents in column studies performed with model phenol solutions (Aravindhan et al, 2009;Richard et al, 2010) and with real solutions (Camporro et al, 1994;Couteau and Mathaly, 1998;Rengaraj et al, 2002a;El-Shafey et al, 2005;Vázquez et al, 2007a). Column adsorption of model solutions has also been assayed using resins (Ferreira and Rodrigues, 1995;Abburi, 2003;Otero et al, 2005a, b;Zabkova et al, 2006;Pan et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2010a,b), synthetic polymers (Romo et al, 2008), low cost adsorbents (Banat and Al-Asheh, 2001a;Rengaraj et al, 2002b;Navia et al, 2006), naturally occurring biopolymers (Nadavala et al, 2009), and biomass (Kumar et al, 2009a,b). Phenolic compounds from food products or byproducts can be selectively separated using low cost lignocellulosics (Sakanaka, 2003), resins (Grohmann et al, 1999;Di Mauro et al, 2000;Broadhurst and Rein, 2003;Chautard and Mayrand, 2003;Schieber et al, 2003;Manthey, 2004;Berardini et al, 2005;Fu et al, 2005;Achaerandio et al, 2007;Scordino et al, 2007;Díaz-Reinoso et al, 2010;Lu et al, 2010) and clay (Lopes et al, 2007).…”
