MODELLING THE UPTAKE OF NATURAL ORGANIC MATTER (NOM)BY DIFFERENT GRANULAR SORBENT MEDIA

Adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM). Four adsorbents (activated carbon, alumine, resins and ferric hydroxide) were used to remove NOM. Models (kinetics and isotherms) are proposed by classical equation in batch reactors. Diffusion model is used to predict breakthrough curves.
