Chromium adsorption in olive stone activated carbon

Abstract: In this work, Cr(III) adsorption on activated carbon obtained from olive stones in an upflow fixed-bed column at 30 • C was studied. The flow rate influence on the breakthrough curves at a feed concentration of 0.87 meq/L was investigated in an attempt to minimize the diffusional resistances. Breakthrough curves for a flow range of 2-8 mL/min were obtained at 10.5 cm bed height and inlet diameter of 0.9 cm. The mass transfer parameters indicated that the bed minimal resistance was attained at 2 mL/min. Therefo… Show more

“…where: C and q have the same meaning as described for the Freundlich isotherm; b is a constant that represents the adsorption bond energy (L/meq); q max is a constant that represent the maximum adsorption capacity (meq/g), corresponding to a monolayer covering the surface of the adsorbent (Maheria and Chudasama, 2006;Pereira et al, 2006).…”

“…Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations can be used assuming that the measured concentrations are equal to surface concentrations 13 . The pseudo-first-order rate lagergren model is 14 : dq = k 1 , ads(q e -q) dt Where, q (mg/g) is the amount of adsorbed heavy metals on the adsorbent at time t and k 1 , ads (min -1 ) is the rate constant of first-order adsorption 15 [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] q e the equilibrium sorption uptake, is extrapolated from the experimental data at time t = infinity. A straight line of log(q e -q) versus t suggests the applicability of this kinetic model.…”
