Adsorption technique has been widely used for NH4 + removal from an effluent Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Still, the resistances of mass transfer, kinetics and equilibrium isotherm of NH 4 + onto Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) need to be verified. In this study, the Hybrid Plug-Flow Column Re...
