title: [Adsorption of permanganate onto activated carbon particles].
abstract: In this paper, the adsorption behavior of permanganate onto activated carbon particles was studied as a function of pH, flow rate and the concentration of permanganate. It was found that permanganate was not adsorbed but reduced by activated carbon particles. The percent of reduction of permanganate was strongly pH-dependent. The reducing product of permanganate was mainly Mn2+ which was adsorbed onto the activated carbon particles by surface complexation.
