ABSTRACT
Zeolite ZSM-5 was found to effectively remove trichloroethylene (TCE) from water.This study measured the extent of uptake of TCE from water, determined adsorption isotherms, and evaluated desorption of TCE from ZSM-5.TCE was rapidly removed from water and followed linear and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.Desorption of TCE from ZSM-5 occurred, but the linear isotherm was still an acceptable model for the removal of TCE from water with ZSM-5.
