This effluent was treated for the removal of Pb(II) by fixed bed adsorption onto steam-activated granular carbon. Effect of flow rate, bed diameter and bed height on the performance of fixed bed column was investigated. The experimental data was presented in the form of breakthrough curve. Bed exhaustion time, breakthrough time and ads­orbent capacity were determined. The obtained experimental data were evalu­ated with the four kinetic models: Thomas, Yoon–Nelson, Adams–Bohart and Clark model. The data were fitted well to the Thomas, Yoon–Nelson and Clark model with correlation coefficient <em>R</em>2 &gt; 0.96.</p> ER -
