Abstract

Develops a self-consistent database of surface complexation model (SCM) parameters for arsenic adsorption onto selected commercially available adsorbents. Links the SCM with a packed-bed mass transport model to provide a robust tool for simulating packed bed performance, a model that accounts for the essential adsorption equilibria as well as mass transport kinetics.
