| Popis: | Nitrite and nitrate levels were quantitatively adsorbed to wood-derived activated carbon in aqueous system and the effects of electrolytes investigated in this study using batch sorption process. The data showed that nitrate adsorbed nearly 1.5 times higher than that of nitrite. The adsorption is adequately explained by Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models (r=0.99) with parameters indicative of a beneficial adsorption.. However, the adsorption is markedly reduced in presence of electrolytes (P |
