LABORATORY AND FIELD INVESTIGATION OF SULFOLANE REMOVAL FROM WATER USING ACTIVATED CARBON
Yang, Y., L. Yu, S. Iranmanesh, and I. Keir.
Journal of Environmental Engineering 146(5) (2020)
Batch and fixed-bed adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using nine commercially-available activated carbons with different particle sizes and surface characteristics to remove sulfolane from aqueous media. Pilot-scale experiments also were conducted to assess the applicability of activated carbon adsorption under field conditions. Results indicated that coconut shell-based activated carbon had the highest sulfolane adsorption capacity. Adsorption was significantly affected by the presence of co-contaminants. The pilot study indicated that activated carbon can be used to remove sulfolane from groundwater.
