More Information
Summary:Adsorption removal of chlorhexidine, one of the disinfectants by activated carbon was discussed from standpoints of equilibrium amount adsorbed and adsorption rate for medical waste water treatment. From the results of correlation between adsorption characteristics for chlorhexidine and properties of activated carbon, it was assumed that the dominant properties for the amount of chlorhexidine adsorbed were the surface area and the micropore volume of activated carbon. And it was assumed that the dominant properties for the adsorption rate was the pore volume (20Å <radius<100Å) of activated carbon.
