Mathematical Modeling of Adsorption Processes of Cobalt Ions Cо <sup>2+ </sup>by Activated Carbon Modified with Carbon Nanotubes
The mechanism of modification of activated carbon by carbon nanotubes during chemical vapor deposition is offered. On the basis of this mechanism the mathematical model describing adsorption processes on modified activated carbon is developed. With the use of the developed mathematical model of adsorption processes the results of the pilot study were processed; these enabled to define the main characteristics of the modified sorbents. The adequacy of the developed mathematical model was verified with the experimental data by comparison method.
