Study of Static Adsorption System Phenol / Luffa Cylindrica Fiber for Industrial Treatment of Wastewater

It is very well known at present that different industries agro-food sector generally produce considerable quantities of wastewater should be treated imperative for preserving the environment, and thus avoid a real danger to the ecosystem. These waters are usually loaded with in pollutants of organic nature. This study was motivated by the fact that no quantitative study concerning the physico- chemical behavior of Luffa cylindrica fibers, hence the idea to use the capacity of retention by adsorption of contaminants. In the first step, we studied the kinetics of adsorption (static adsorption of system phenol/fibers of Luffa cylindrica) by using the model of pollution of the phenol as a method of analysis the UV spectrophotometry, in a second step we valued with quantification the adsorption isotherms obtained in relation to other commonly used isotherms (activated carbon/phenol) and a final step optimization of the phenomenon has been conducted, the results are widely presented and discussed taking into account the variation some physicochemical parameters. This work demonstrates and confirms the possibility of using Luffa cylindrica fibers for industrial treatment of wastewater for its advantageous features: natural fiber, economic, non-toxic, biodegradable, filter, fuel and incinerated,etc
