Removal of naphthenic acids using activated charcoal: Kinetic and equilibrium studies

This study proposes the use of activated charcoal made from Umbaúba wood as an adsorbent for the removal of naphthenic acid in an aviation kerosene model mixture. The activated charcoal was characterised as mesoporous with a carbon graphite profile and presented pH pzc equal to 10.5. The best workin... View More
