Abstract:
Concerning the agricultural waste water treatment, adsorption removal of cresol which is one of disinfectants by commercial activated carbon was investigated.
It was not found the significant correlation between amount of cresol adsorbed and physical properties of eight kinds of activated carbon. The intraparticle diffusivity of cresol onto the pores of activated carbon was significantly related to the mesopore volume.
In the treatment of agricultural waste water, it is concluded that the activated carbon which is rich in mesopore volume is suitable for the adsorption removal of cresol from the standpoint of adsorption rate.
