Artificial neural networks are mathematical tools inspired by what is known about the
physical structure and mechanism of the biological cognition and learning. Neural networks …

To control stormwater pollution effectively, development of innovative, land-use-related
control strategies will be required. An approach that could differentiate land-use types from …

The adsorption of 55 organic compounds is carried out onto a recently discovered
adsorbent, activated carbon cloth. Isotherms are modeled using the Freundlich classical …

Adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by granular activated carbons (GACs) is a
highly exothermic process and leads to temperature rises, which may reduce the separation …

This work studies pressure drops through several textile fabrics. A preliminary study of cloth
characteristics, including scanning electron micrographs, shows their specificities towards …

This study investigates the ability of neural networks to estimate by a quantitative structure–
activity relationship the adsorbability onto activated carbon of a wide range of organics in …

The adsorption of polluted water is performed by activated carbon fibers. Three kinds of
material are compared: microporous and mesoporous cloths and a microporous granular …

The adsorption equilibria of organic micropollutants (phenol, benzoic acid, and para-
chlorophenol) onto activated carbon cloths have been determined for a large range of …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents theoretical and practical approaches to organic
removal by adsorption. The examples focus on water and air treatments. In air treatment …

The cost of membrane softening in Florida (US) was calcu lated as a function of membrane
bypass and blending, plant operating factors, concentrate disposal, and interest rates (Berg …
