AbstractThis work studied the removal of paracetamol through the adsorption process using the granular activated carbon. The results indicated that it was possible to obtain 95% of removal under the experimental conditions of pH 6, 120 min of process and 5 g L−1 of solid adsorbent. The kinetic model that best fit the experimental data was the pseudo-first order. The isotherm model that best fit the experimental data was the Sips. The thermodynamic tests indicated that the adsorption process was favorable and spontaneous and confirmed the endothermic nature of the process. In fixed bed column adsorption, the best operating condition found was obtained using the flow rate of 3 mL min−1 and bed mass equal to 0.5 g. In this case, the system presented the highest volume of treated PAR effluent, of 810 mL per gram of carbon in the bed, besides a longer rupture time and bed saturation.

The activated carbon of Eucalyptus globulus was tested for their effectiveness in removing hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution using column experiments. Result revealed that adsorption of chromium(VI) on eucalyptus bark carbon was endothermic in nature. Thermodynamic parameters such as the entropy change, enthalpy change and Gibbs free energy change were found to be 1.39 kJ mol−1 K−1, 1.08 kJ mol−1 and −3.85 kJ mol−1, respectively. Different chromium concentrations were used for the fixed bed adsorption studies. The pre- and post-treated adsorbents were characterized using a FTIR spectroscopic technique. It was concluded that Eucalyptus bark carbon column could be used effectively for removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution at optimal column conditions. This study showed that this biological material is potential adsorbent of Cr(VI) from water.

Abstract One of the major pollutants in leachate is phenol. Due to safety and environmental problems, removal of phenol from leachate is essential. Most of the adsorption studies have been conducted in batch systems. Practically, large-scale adsorption is carried out in continuous systems. In this research, the adsorption method has been used for phenol removal from leachate by using walnut shell activated carbon (WSA) and coconut shell activated carbon (CSA) as adsorbents in a fixed-bed column. The effect of adsorbent bed depth, influent phenol concentration and type of adsorbent on adsorption was explored. By increasing the depth of the adsorbent bed in the column, phenol removal efficiency and saturation time increase significantly. Also, by increasing the influent concentration, saturation time of the column decreases. To predict the column performance and describe the breakthrough curve, three kinetic models of Yon-Nelson, Adams-Bohart and Thomas were applied. The results of the experiments indicate that there is a good match between the results of the experiment and the predicted results of the models.
