adsorption of phenol on granular activated carbon from nutrient medium:equilibrium and kinetic study
نویسندگان
چکیده
this paper presents the adsorption of phenol on granular activated carbon (gac) from nutrient medium suitable for roorganisms’ growth and also the subsequent biodegradation. two parameter langmuir and freundlich adsorption isotherm models were studied using large range of phenol concentration (50-1000 mg/l). in low range of phenol concentration (50-300 mg/l), correlation coefficient, normalized deviation “g% and separation factor were 0.9989, 2.18% and 0.38- 0.78 respectively, while for higher concentration range (400-1000 mg/l), the corresponding values were 0.9719, 1.9% and 0.45- 0.67. freundlich isotherm gave correlation coefficient of 0.9984, 1/n. value of 0.7269 and normalized deviation of 4.55%. comparison based on r2, adjusted r2, normalized deviation and root mean square deviation (rmsd) showed that the redke-prausnitz isotherm model gives better prediction compared to other models. adsorption of phenol follows pseudo second order kinetics with correlation coefficient closer to one. biodegradation study using immobilized cells of nocardia hydrocarbonoxydans on gac showed that, biodegradation begins well before gac reaches the saturation period.

Modeling studies for adsorption of phenol and co-pollutants onto granular activated carbon prepared from olive oil industrial waste
Granular activated carbon (OSAC) which was derived from olive oil industrial solid waste was chemically activated with different concentrations of phosphoric acid. OSAC-materials were evaluated for their ability to remove phenol from aqueous solution in a batch technique. Adsorption isotherms were determined and modeled with five linear Langmuir forms, namely the Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin, Ki...

The adsorption of methyl tert-butyl ether by granular activated carbon was investigated. The experimental data were analyzed using the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm. Although equilibrium data were found to follow Freundlich isotherm model, it were fitted better by the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 204.1 mg/g. The kinetic data obtained at different concentr...
