Contributors: P. Quinlivan n, L. Li n & D. Knappe  n

author keywords: activated carbon; adsorption; drinking water treatment; methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE); natural organic matter; trichloroethylene (TCE)
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Carbon / chemistry; Carcinogens / chemistry; Carcinogens / isolation & purification; Kinetics; Methyl Ethers / chemistry; Methyl Ethers / isolation & purification; Solvents / chemistry; Solvents / isolation & purification; Trichloroethylene / chemistry; Trichloroethylene / isolation & purification; Water Purification / methods
TL;DR: A comparison of adsorption isotherm data collected in the presence and absence of NOM showed that percent reductions of single-solute TCE and MTBE adsorptive capacities that resulted from the presence of co-adsorbing NOM were not strongly affected by the chemical characteristics of activated carbons.

TL;DR: A method based on the Polanyi-Dubinin-Manes (PDM) model is presented to predict adsorption isotherms of aqueous organic contaminants on activated carbons, with predictions that agreed well with experimental data for three adsorbents and two adsorbates that were not used to calibrate the model.
