Many different processes and mechanisms play a part in the adsorption from solution onto activated carbon. The type of adsorption interaction depends on both the properties of the surface and of the adsorbate. Factors influencing adsorption include the pore size distribution of the carbon and the relationship between the size of the pores and the size of the adsorbate. The hydrophobic interaction between the graphitic surface of the carbon and hydrophobic parts of the adsorbing species also influence adsorption. The effect of these factors on the adsorption of compounds in drinking water, such as algal toxins, dissolved humic material, and taste and odor producing compounds are considered.
