Abstract

The ability of fluidized beds of activated carbon to remove pollutants from aqueous solutions has been studied. The pollutants were phenol, p-chlorophenol and sodium dodecyl sulphate, and the effects of the flow rate of the solution and of the pollutant concentration have been studied. Correlations between the external mass transfer coefficient K_F and the liquid-phase Reynolds number have been developed according to the general equation K_F = ARe_L^B. The equilibrium isotherms were determined for the three systems and the data were analysed using a Langmuir equation.
