Dataset for Carbon Surface Characterization Using Model Dyes

This dataset contains experimental data acquired during the evaluation of micropollutant removal from raw water using granulated activated carbon (GAC) project SS01020063, alongside laboratory sorption tests utilizing model organic dyes. To further characterize the structural and sorption properties of the carbon surfaces under operational conditions, multi-component equilibrium sorption experiments were conducted using selected model dyes as surrogates for organic contaminants. The data serves to clarify the fundamental mechanisms governing targeted pollutant separation, identify key molecular parameters influencing sorption capacity, and evaluate the efficiency of the thermal reactivation process for water treatment applications.
