Abstract: | Adsorption of Dichloromethane and 1,1,1-Trichloroethane from Synthetic Wastewaters with Polymeric Adsorbents and Activated Carbons Isotherms, kinetics, and dynamics of adsorption of dichloromethane and 1,1,1-trichloroethane from synthetic wastewaters onto novel polymeric adsorbents were investigated in comparison to traditional polymeric adsorbents and activated carbons. The polymeric adsorbents and the activated carbons showed no large differences in adsorption kinetics, whereas the novel, crosslinked polymeric adsorbents exhibited at times higher adsorption capacities than the traditional, not crosslinked polymeric adsorbents and activated carbons. |
