Removal of dialkylphenols from aqueous effluents by selective adsorption in a novel, large-pore, silica molecular sieve
Abstract
Dialkylphenols, like 2,3-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-dimethylphenols can be removed from water by selective liquid-phase adsorption in a novel, large pore, silica molecular sieve; more than 80% of the adsorbed dialkylphenols are recoverable by thermal desorption in nitrogen.
