In this work we have studied the removal <strong>of</strong> isoproturon in water by adsorption infixed-bed column with GAC as adsorbent. In order to analyze the column dynamicsin the adsorption process, the influence <strong>of</strong> the inlet isoproturon concentration (C 0 )and volumetric flow rate (Q) on breakthrough curves has been investigated.Breakthrough curves have been modeled using various equations, and the theoreticalbreakthrough curve has been obtained.Table 1.
