Comparative modelling analysis of boron dynamic adsorption on fibrous adsorbent prepared using radiation grafting versus granular resin

A comparative study was carried to investigate the selective removal of boron from aqueous solutions over fibrous adsorbent and Diaion CRB03 granular resin in a fixed-bed dynamic column. The fibrous adsorbent was prepared by radiation induced grafting of vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) onto nylon-6 fibre...

T Technology (General) A comparative study was carried to investigate the selective removal of boron from aqueous solutions over fibrous adsorbent and Diaion CRB03 granular resin in a fixed-bed dynamic column.
