Organic pollutants removal from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) red water using low cost activated coke
Organic pollutants removal from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene （TNT） red water using low cost activated coke

We treated 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) red water from the Chinese explosive industry with activated coke (AC) from lignite. Since the composition of TNT red water was very complicated, chemical oxygen demand (COD) was used as the index for evaluating treatment efficiency. This study focused on sorption kinetics and equilibrium sorption isotherms of AC for the removal of COD from TNT red water, and the changes of water quality before and after adsorption were evaluated using high performance liquid chromatog...
