  • Descrição: In this study, the monocomponent adsorption of benzene, toluene and o -xylene (BTX) compounds, as model contaminants present in the petrochemical wastewaters, was investigated using three types of adsorbents: activated carbon (Carbon CD 500), a polymeric resin (MN-202) and a modified clay (Claytone-40). Langmuir and Freundlich models were able to fit well the equilibrium experimental data. The BTX adsorption capacity increased in the following order: Claytone-40 < CD 500 < MN-202. The maximum uptake capacity of MN-202, given by the Langmuir fitting parameter, for benzene, toluene and o -xylene was 0.8 ± 0.1, 0.70 ± 0.08 and 0.63 ± 0.06 mmol/g at 26 °C. Desorption kinetics for polymeric resin with 50 % methanol solution were fast being able to reuse the resin in consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles without loss of sorption capacity. The adsorptive behaviour at batch system was modelled using a mass transfer kinetic model, considering that the sorption rate is controlled by a linear driving force model, which successfully predicts benzene, toluene and o -xylene concentration profiles, with homogeneous diffusivity coefficients, D h , between 3.8 × 10 −10 and 3.6 × 10 −9  cm 2 /s. In general, benzene diffuses faster than toluene and o -xylene, which is in agreement with molecular diffusivity in water.
