Abstract: A predictive mathematical model that describes the adsorption and biodegradation phenomena in recycle fluidized‐bed (RFB) adsorbers was developed. The model incorporated liquid film transfer, biodegradation and diffusion ...

Abstract: This research investigates quantification of the effectiveness of activated carbon for removing dieldrin, a highly toxic and persistant environmental pollutant, from water supplies in the presence of a major competing class ...

Abstract: The cost‐effective removal of alachlor and heptachlor from drinking water by GAC adsorption was investigated. Alachlor and heptachlor represent two classes of chlorinated pesticides: the acetanilides and the cyclodienes, ...
