Trichloroethylene Adsorption by Fibrous and Granular Activated Carbons:  Aqueous Phase, Gas Phase, and Water Vapor Adsorption Studies

Abstract: The important adsorption components involved in the removal of trichloroethylene (TCE) by fibrous and granular activated carbons from aqueous solutions were systematically examined. Namely, adsorption of TCE itself (i.e., TCE vapor isotherms), water molecules (i.e., water vapor isotherms), and TCE in water (i.e., TCE aqueous phase isotherms) were studied, side-by-side, using 20 well-characterized surface-modified activated carbons. The results showed that TCE molecular size and geometry, activated carbon surfa… Show more

“…GAC is milled away for production of PAC and some of the macropores are lost during this process. Since desorption is expected to be easier from macropores compared with mesoand micropores with greater adsorption energies, 12 desorption from the GAC particles was easier. But this effect should be limited since adsorption on macropores was very low due to the fact that macropores adsorb phenol by surface area and the contribution of macropores to the total surface area is limited.…”

“…This finding was obviously due to the significant change in the overall concentration range over which the hysteresis effect was quantified. In the literature it is stated that the sorption energy onto micropores is greater 12 than onto meso-or macropores. In our case, this excess phenol at the carbon dose of 4000 mg dm −3 should be certainly adsorbed with a smaller energy onto meso-or macropores rather than micropores.…”
