Corn cobs were evaluated as raw material in the production of an adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous solutions. Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium were satisfactorily described by the pseudo second-order and Freundlich models, respectively. Fixed bed adsorption (breakthrough curve) was satisfactorily described by Bohart-Adams, Yoon-Nelson and Dose-Response models. Adsorption tests showed that the prepared adsorbent presented higher adsorption capacity than activated carbons produced from other agricultural residues, confirming that this type of waste material is a suitable candidate for use in the production of adsorbents.
