Removal of sodium salicylate from aqueous solution using spruce wood sawdust as an eco-friendly adsorbent

Abstract

<jats:p>This study reports the application of Spruce wood sawdust as a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent for the removal of sodium salicylate from aqueous solutions. The effects of physicochemical parameters on the sodium salicylate adsorption process such as initial pH, temperature, solid/liquid ratio, initial concentration, contact time, and ionic strength were investigated. The optimum adsorption conditions were found as: equilibrium time = 3h, adsorbent dosage = 0.5 g/L, pH= 6.5, initial sodium salicylate concentration = 10 mg/L and temperature = 25°C. The kinetic study shows that the pseudo-second-order model is suitable to describe the adsorption process. The adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and generalized) were tested to understand the adsorption mechanism of sodium salicylate onto wood sawdust surface. The adsorption of sodium salicylate follows the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer uptake capacity was found to be 99.01 mg/g. In addition, the temperature seems to have no noticeable effect on the adsorption of sodium salicylate. Finally, the thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption is spontaneous (ΔG°˂ 0) and exothermic (ΔH°=-5.081 kJ/mol) in nature. Overall, Spruce wood sawdust can be used as a cost-effective and eco-friendly adsorbent for wastewater treatment applications.</jats:p>

Fabrication of New Hyper-Cross-linked polymer for Efficient Heavy metal Adsorption from Industrial Wastewater

“…Interchanging ionic ability made HCP befitting for SPE [1,26]. Adsorption of polar organic solvent from water was made by 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-based HCP and found nearly 90% results [27]. Huang and co-workers synthesized polarity modified HCP by utilizing VBC and DVB building blocks [4,22].…”

Dynamical analysis of a chemostat model for 4-chlorophenol and sodium salicylate mixture biodegradation

“…Sodium salicilate (SA) is recently also qualified as a typical contaminant in wastewater although its usage as a drug derivative in medicine and as preservative in foods production (cf. e. g. [3] and the references therein). Among the many effluent treatment processes like chemical, physical, physicochemical, etc., biological degradation of chemical organic mixtures is known to be the most effective and efficient technology in terms of costs, time and performance.…”

Stability Analysis of a Chemostat Model for Phenol and Sodium Salicylate Mixture Biodegradation

“…Phenol, phenolic derivatives and their mixtures are among the extremely toxic pollutants arising from industrial effluents. Although sodium salicylate (SA) is used as a drug derivative in medicine and as preservative in foods production, it is recently qualified as a typical contaminant in wastewater due to its high level toxicity (cf., for example, [4] and the references therein). The phenol/sodium salicylate mixture is found in wastewater from various industries (chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and others).…”
