Abstract
Two equations derived from the theory of volume filling of micropores (the DR and DS equations) were used for the description of the liquid-phase adsorption of benzene, toluene and p-xylene from aqueous solution on to two commercial microporous activated carbons.
Comparison of the experimental and calculated adsorption isotherms showed good accord between the theoretical and experimental values. The results of this work indicate that the parameters of these equations can be used for modelling a water purification process based on the activated carbons.
