Removal of Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands in Vegetable Oil Industry Effluents using Adsorbents from Fluted Pumpkin Mesocarp

Abstract

Explanation modeling is the concept of fitting pollutant concentration data from experimental data into model equation. This elicits estimates of useful information such as isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics parameters (Horsfall and spiff 2005; Maduagwu, 2008; Ekpete et al., 2010) that ordinarily are not obtained directly from original data in the specific system (Dunnivant and Anders, 2006). Such information is vital for the design and operating conditions of both batch and column sorption systems.
