Adsorption of Lactic Acid from Model Fermentation Broth onto Activated Carbon and Amberlite IRA-67

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the adsorption efficiency of lactic acid onto activated carbon and Amberlite IRA-67, and to define the adsorption isotherms. Activated carbon is a well-known industrial adsorbent and was used in this study; Amberlite IRA-67 is a weakly basic polyacrylic resin with a tertiary amine functional group. Adsorption efficiencies of activated carbon and Amberlite IRA-67 were compared with respect to their percentage of removal acid. The result of this comparison is that Amberlite IRA-67 is more efficient than activated carbon. Each of these adsorbents is in compliance with both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms.

Adsorption Behaviour of Lactic Acid on Granular Activated Carbon and Anionic Resins: Thermodynamics, Isotherms and Kinetic Studies

“…The properties of PLA can be improved by blending with several other synthetic polymers (e.g., polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene) and biopolymers (e.g., thermoplastic starch, rubbers or poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)) to obtain novel biodegradable materials with lower cost and higher durability compared to the traditional plastic materials [1,2]. However, extraction, purification and continuous supply of lactic acid as raw material from fermentation processes is a major challenge because of its highly hydrophilic structure and the lack of efficient low cost purification techniques [3].…”

Adsorption of methylene blue and eosin yellow using porous carbon prepared from tea waste: Adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics study

“…Among these, adsorption is well 15 established and superior technique because of their low cost, the 16 simplicity of design and availability of adsorbents. Various kind of 17 adsorbents were used in recent years for absorptive removal of 18 contaminants . Activated carbon (AC) has been found to be 19 the most widely used adsorbent for waste water treatment 20 [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

Exploration of deep eutectic solvent‐based mesoporous silica spheres as high‐performance size exclusion chromatography packing materials

“…Three line isotherms of Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin were selected to evaluate the equilibrium characteristics of adsorption between the adsorbate and adsorbent and to help select a suitable adsorbent for the packing column in HP-SEC. Although the three isotherms had more than one form of related equations, 20 three linear equations for the three isotherms were selected. R 2 is coefficient of determination.…”
