Abstract (EN): Laboratory studies for the determination of equilibrium data and effective diffusivities of Merox solutions in activated carbon were carried out in batch, CSTR and fixed-bed adsorbers. Simulation of the impregnation step of an industrial Merox unit was then performed. The fixed-bed plant was modelled by a heterogeneous model with pore diffusion in particles and was solved numerically either by using the package PDECOL or the method of characteristics. © 1987.
