Study of the adsorption of phenol by two soils based on kinetic and isotherm modeling analyses
چکیده انگلیسی

Various natural adsorbents, which have been in used for removal of pollutants, in general, and phenol, in particular, are mostly directed towards improving the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents by various pretreatments (chemical, thermal or biological), which necessarily lead to increase in the cost as well as in the level of difficulties in regeneration/disposal of the adsorbent. The present studies, on the other hand, are aimed towards evaluating the feasibility of using two common soils as potential low-cost adsorbents for the removal of phenol from its aqueous solution, in their natural forms (i.e., without any pretreatment). Accordingly, experiments were carried out (in batch mode) for optimization of the adsorption parameters (such as pH, contact time, equilibrium time and adsorbent dosage), for varying initial phenol concentrations. The results showed that the maximum phenol adsorption capacity was found at pH ~6, under a constant temperature of 30 ± 2 °C (at 6-hour equilibrium period). Several kinetic models (viz. Lagergren first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intra-particle diffusion) as well as isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich and Peterson and Sip) were applied to the experimental data. The pseudo-second-order model was found to be the most suitable model describing the adsorption of phenol by two soils (which indicated this adsorption as a chemisorption process). On analysis of equilibrium isotherms for the adsorption of phenol by two soils, Redlich–Peterson and Sip isotherms were found to be the best representative for phenol-sorption on two selected, soil adsorbents.
