The objectives of this research were to identify a set of molecular descriptors that define the
affinity of organic contaminants for activated carbon, and to incorporate the resulting
quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) into the Polanyi-Dubinin-Manes (PDM)
model to predict single-solute adsorption isotherms for emerging contaminants
(pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds, chemical warfare agents,
fluorotelomer alcohols, and brominated flame retardants). The Polanyi-Dubinin-Manes (PDM) model served as the basis for adsorption isotherm
predictions. Materials and methods included:
adsorption isotherm data; adsorbents and characterization; reference curve; affinity coefficients of water; composite water/contaminant affinity coefficients; affinity coefficients of organic compounds; and, poly-parameter QSPR development. Includes 23 references, tables, figures.
