Adsorption of Organic Compounds on Activated Carbon Derived from Peanut Shells. Potential Theory Correlation for Estimating Adsorption Capacities and Affinity Coefficients

Adsorption isotherms of eight organic contaminants (acetone, pyridine, phenol, iodine, Methylene Blue, Congo Red, Reactive Navy and tannic acid) onto an activated carbon obtained from peanut shells have been studied at 22°C. The experimental data were analyzed using the Polanyi Potential Theory and...
