Oxidized Activated Carbon

Carboxylate groups on oxidized activated carbon surface were transformed to the forms of Mn2+ and Fe3+ (signed as OAC-Mn and OAC-Fe respectively) through multi-step procedure. This modified activated carbon then was used as an adsorption material for arsenic removing from aqueous solution. Synthetic water containing As(III) and As(V) was used for study of arsenic adsorption capacities of OAC-Fe and OAC-Mn. The similar study had also been done with original granular activated carbon for comparison. The effects of modified metals onto oxidized activated carbon, metals doses and initial arsenic concentration on the removal of As(III), As(V) have been surveyed and discussed. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out with arsenic concentration in the range of 1 – 50 mg/l. Langmuir models were used for the adsorption isotherm screening. The results showed that both of OAC-Fe and OAC-Mn have good adsorption capacities for As(III) but OAC-Fe has a greater removal capacity for As(V) than OAC-Mn. OAC-Mn was identified as a good material for the of As(III) removal, because of its oxidation efficiency of As(III) to As(V) during adsorption process.

Abstract The study of arsenic resistant microorganisms with high arsenic removal capacity is fundamental for the development of economically sustainable technologies for the treatment of water contaminated with this metalloid. In this work, the isolation and identification of 4 native strains was carried out.: Rhodococcus gordoniae, Microbacterium hydrocarbonoxydans, Exiguobacterium indicum and Pseudomonas kribbensis . R.gordoniae was identified as the bacterium with the highest growth capacity in both As(III) and As(V). E.indicum removed about 74.8% of Arsenate, As(V), and 61.7% of Arsenite , As(III), while R.gordoniae removed about 81.6 % of As(III), and 77.2% of As(V), while that M.hydrocarbonoxydans was able to remove up to 79.9% of As(III) and 68.9% of As(V). Finally, it was observed that P. kribbensis removed about 80.2% of As(V). This study also contributes to the possible detoxification mechanisms employed by these bacteria, the knowledge of which could be crucial in the successful implementation of in situ bioremediation programs.

Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring element in the environment that poses significant risks to human health. Several treatment technologies have been successfully used in the treatment of As-contaminated waters. However, limited literature has explored advanced electrocoagulation (EC) processes for As removal. The present study evaluates the As removal performance of electrocoagulation, electrochemical peroxidation (ECP), and photo-assisted electrochemical peroxidation (PECP) technologies at circumneutral pH using electroactive iron electrodes. The influence of As speciation and the role of oxidants in As removal were investigated. We have identified the ECP process to be a promising alternative for the conventional EC with around 4-fold increase in arsenic removal capacity at a competitive cost of 0.0060 $/m3. Results also indicated that the rate of As(III) oxidation at the outset of electrochemical treatment dictates the extent of As removal. Both ECP and PECP processes reached greater than 96% As(III) conversion at 1 C/L and achieved 86% and 96% As removal at 5 C/L, respectively. Finally, the mechanism of As(III) oxidation was evaluated, and results showed that Fe(IV) is the intermediate oxidant generated in advanced EC processes, and the contribution of •OH brought by UV irradiation is insignificant.

Abstract In this work, montmorillonite (Mt) was modified by environmentally friendly arginine (Arg) and lysine (Lys) amino acids with di-cationic groups for arsenic removal from contaminated water. The modified Mts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential and thermal analysis. The adsorption of As(V) onto modified Mts as a function of initial As(V) concentration, contact time and solution pH was investigated. The removal efficiency was increased with increasing the As(V) concentration and contact time; however, it was decreased with increasing solution pH. The maximum As(V) adsorption capacities of Mt-Arg and Mt-Lys were 11.5 and 11 mg/g, respectively, which were five times larger than pristine Mt. The high adsorption capacity makes them promising candidates for arsenic removal from contaminated water. The regeneration studies were carried out up to 10 cycles for both modified Mts. The obtained results confirmed that the modified adsorbents could also be effectively used for As(V) removal from water for multiple adsorption – desorption cycles.

SiO<sub>2</sub> deposits which cause technical problems on combustion equipment are built by combustion of biogas containing siloxanes. Therefore, in these cases, the siloxanes must be removed from the biogas. For siloxane removal from biogas, its adsorption on activated carbon is often used. After saturation, the saturated adsorbent must be replaced. The adsorbent cost constitutes the main part of the operational costs of the purification equipment. Therefore it is necessary to find an adsorbent having high adsorption capacity for siloxane at a possible low price. Using laboratory apparatus and biogas produced from waste-water treatment sludge at the wastewater treatment plant Prague Bubenec various activated carbons were tested for siloxane removal and their adsorption capacities for siloxanes were estimated, and the adsorbent cost relative to 1 kg of siloxanes removed from biogas were calculated. The lowest price for the removal of 1 kg of siloxanes was determined by Chezacarb, Sil Extra 40 AP and 4–60 adsorbents. Another important information obtained from the test is that the weakly adsorbed siloxane (OMCTS) is displaced by the larger molecule of DMCPCS during adsorption.

A type of sand selected in Sichuan, China was identified with high adsorption capacity to ammonium nitrogen. The effects of contact time, initial ammonium concentration and particle size on the sand for removing ammonium from digested effluent of swine wastewater were investigated using a static shaker experiment. Results showed that the optimum contact time for sand to adsorb ammonium was 150 min. As initial ammonium concentration increased, the removal capacity of the sand increased, but the removal efficiency decreased. The adsorbed ammonium increased as the particle size decreased. At ammonium concentrations ranging from 27 0 to 553 mg L-1, the maximum ammonium adsorption capacity of the sand was approximately 0 77 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir equation. Based on these findings, the use of this local sand as an adsorption media for ammonium nitrogen removal from digested effluent of swine wastewater is feasible.
