Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The main pollutants studied for the treatment of industrial effluents are dyes, heavy metals and others (pesticides, phenols, drugs etc). In this chapter, two crucial adsorption parameters are investigated regarding the adsorption of those pollutants with green adsorbents; equilibrium (adsorption capacity) and kinetics. Many models are described and useful data are given.
