Sorbent for Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Sorption is generally used to reduce water pollution. Many sorbents with different characteristics are commercially available. In pollutant extraction, the selectivity of the sorbent is important. The development of a sorptional extraction process must be based on experimental data. The present article provides isotherms; thermodynamic characteristics of the material obtained using various models; the pH of the zero charge point (pH_zcp); and the minimum sorbent dose required for decontamination in accordance with the standards for lakes and rivers used for fishing.
