Adsorption of Phenol from Aqueous Solution on to Activated Carbon. Effect of Solvent, Temperature and Particle Size by R. Leyva-Ramos, J.H. Soto Zuñiga, J. Mendoza Barron, R.M. Guerrero Coronado

“…It was found that in the aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed is greater than that in the cyclohexane solution, which was attributed to the fact that phenol has a higher affinity for cyclohexane than for water. Furthermore, the results revealed that in aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed increased when the particle size decreased and was slightly reduced by an increase in the temperature; however, in cyclohexane solution, the amount of phenol adsorbed was independent of particle size and considerably reduced by increasing temperature.…”
