On the Adsorption Kinetics and Equilibrium of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons from Aqueous Solution by Marta Haro, Belén Cabal, José B. Parra, Conchi O. Ania

“…As a general rule, the higher the number of aromatic rings in the polycyclic hydrocarbon, the more favoured the adsorbate–carbon interactions. Analysis of the carbon after adsorption of the studied hydrocarbons indicated that the accessibility restrictions to the porosity of the carbon can also lead to weaker interactions with the activated carbon.…”
