Batch adsorption experiments using powdered activated carbon (PAC) to remove trace
synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) from water containing natural organic matter (NOM) …

Natural organic matter (NOM) in natural water has been found to have negative effects on
the adsorption of various trace organic compounds by activated carbon through two major …

Adsorption isotherms of organic micropollutants in coexistence with natural organic matter
(NOM) were analyzed to evaluate the impacts of pore size distribution of activated carbon …

We examined the natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption characteristics of super-
powdered activated carbon (S-PAC) produced by pulverizing commercially available …

The pore size distribution (PSD) of adsorbents has been found to be an important factor that
affects adsorption capacity for organic compounds; consequently, it should influence …

The adsorptive removal of periodic spikes of the trace synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs)
simazine and asulam from water containing natural organic matter (NOM) was studied in …

The overall objective of this research was to determine the effects of physical and chemical
activated carbon characteristics on the simultaneous adsorption of trace organic …

When treating water with activated carbon, natural organic matter (NOM) is not only a target
for adsorptive removal but also an inhibitory substance that reduces the removal efficiency of …
