Nanomaterials as zeolites (Bentonite, Montmorillonite) titania oxides, nanoiron (Nanofer) and active carbon (Supersorbon, Norit) have been employed as packing into the reactive barrier for the ground water contaminant removal. The efficiency of the individual sorbents was also tested on the model contaminated waters with the different concentration of phenol. Applied sorbents have been thoroughly characterized by various methods as Nitrogen physical adsorption, Mercury porosimetry, Helium pycnometry. Experiments were carried out under varying experimental condition of particle size, pH, temperature, etc. To obtain the sorption capacities of individual sorbents relevant to the real conditions after UCG process the laboratory reactor designed for formation and release of the UCG contaminants was applied. This study is focused on evaluation of the individual sorbent efficiency and capacity for phenol removal from UCG post-processing water.
