Among various water purification and recycling technologies, adsorption is a fast, inexpensive and universal method. The development of low-cost adsorbents has led to the rapid growth of research interests in this field. The present protocol describes salient features of adsorption and details experimental methodologies for the development and characterization of low-cost adsorbents, water treatment and recycling using adsorption technology including batch processes and column operations. The protocol describes the development of inexpensive adsorbents from waste materials, which takes only 1-2 days, and an adsorption process taking 15-120 min for the removal of pollutants. The applications of batch and column processes are discussed, along with suggestions to make this technology more popular and applicable.
在各种水净化和循环利用技术中，吸附是一种快速、廉价且通用的方法。低成本吸附剂的开发促使该领域的研究兴趣迅速增长。本方案描述了吸附的显著特点，并详细介绍了低成本吸附剂的开发与表征、使用吸附技术进行水处理和循环利用（包括间歇过程和柱操作）的实验方法。该方案描述了利用废料开发廉价吸附剂的过程，这只需1至2天，以及一个耗时15至120分钟的去除污染物的吸附过程。文中讨论了间歇和柱过程的应用，并提出了使该技术更受欢迎和适用的建议。
