In this work, an experimental and modelling analysis of Toluene/Naphthalene adsorption from water solution on a commercial activated carbon both in single and binary systems was carried out. All the experimental tests were conducted at constant pH=7 and temperature (20 °C). Experimental results indicate that Toluene has the highest adsorption capacity in single compound systems and competitive effects arise when the two analytes are adsorbed simultaneously.
