Recovery of carbon tetrachloride from waste water

Studies of the adsorption properties on activated carbons in relation to aqueous solutions of CC14 under static and dynamic conditions were conducted. Activated carbons (ACs) DTO, DTX-3 and A were used as the adsorbents. The times required to achieve the adsorption equilibrium for these adsorbents have been determined. The courses of the adsorption isotherms are accurately described by Freundlich, Langmuir and Freundlich -Langmuir equations. The adsorptivity and the fundamental magnitudes of dynamic CC14 adsorption from water on fixed - bed were determined for DTO carbon, which has the highest static adsorptivity.
