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.

Artificial neural network (ANN) techniques are effective in modeling nonlinear processes, are simple to implement and require low computational time. In this work, the lactose adsorption process for continuous flow in a fixed-bed column with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) adsorbent was modeled using an ANN technique. The neural models allowed predicting the relative lactose concentration (C/C0) from the interactions between the variables of contact time (min), temperature (?C), granulometry (mesh), bed height (cm) and flow rate (mL min-1). The ANN models were developed in MATLAB using multilayer perceptrons (MLP) and a radial basis function network (RBF). The MLP model was developed using a three-layer feed forward backpropagation network with 5, 8 and 4 neurons in the first, second and third layer, respectively. The function (RBF) network is also proposed and its performance is compared to a traditional network type. The best architecture configuration RBF model was developed using 5, 14 and 1 neurons in the first, second and third layer, respectively. The proposal of development of mathematical models applied to multi-component adsorption system for milk using these approaches is innovative. The resulting breakthrough curve models for lactose adsorption were in good agreement with the experimental results. Performance indices, such as R?, MSE, RMSE, SSE, MAE and RME were used to evaluate the reliabilities and accuracies of the models. A comparison between the ANN models shows the ability to predict the breakthrough curves of lactose removal in the milk adsorption process. Though, the MLP network model shows more accurately a higher correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9751) and lower values for the obtained error indices. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by the comparison between the predicted and experimental data. The results showed that both neural models efficiently described the non-linear process of lactose adsorption in a fixed-bed column.

Activated carbon was produced from Sapindusfruitresidue and wasused for the adsorption of methylene blue dye from simulated aqueous solution. Adsorption kinetics of methylene blue onto actived carbonwerestudied in a batch system. The effects of pH and contact time were examined. The goal of the present study was the determination of the optimal experimental conditions. The maximum adsorption of methylene blue occurredat pH 6.0(4.83 mg/g) and the lowest adsorption occurred at pH 2.0(4.35 mg/g).120 min was the time needed for apparent equilibrium.Adsorption modelling was determined by using theFreundlich and Langmuir isotherms.Data were interpreted based on R2and various error distribution functions. Adsorption isotherm was best described bynon linear Freundlichisotherm model. In order to determine the best-fit-adsorption kinetics, the experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, pseudo-third-order, Esquivel, and Elovichmodels. The needed relative parameters were determined bylinear and non-linear regressive methods. The statistical functions were estimated to find the suitable method which fit the experimental data. Both methods were suitable to obtain the required parameters. The model that best fit the present equilibrium data was the linear Elovichmodel (type 1 and 2). The present work showed that activated carbon can be used as a low cost adsorbent for the methylene blue removal from aqueous solutions.

An experimental study on hydrogen sulphide (H2S) adsorption behaviours using amine-impregnated solid adsorbent (GAC/PEI) was carried out for H2S concentration in the range of 200 and 400 ppm. The dynamic adsorptions of GAC and modified GAC (2.0 and 1000 g/L PEI) in a fixed-bed column were investigated by determining the breakthrough curves and adsorption capacities of various adsorbents. The adsorbent exhibits an excellent adsorption capacity of 106.87 and 231.45 mgH2S/g-adsorbent for 200 ppm and 400 ppm H2S, respectively. The H2S breakthrough capacity is found to relate to the surface adsorption and chemical adsorption.

The treated rice husk has been evaluated as a sorbent for removing lead (II) from aqueous solutions in fixed-bed studies. In this paper, the effects of flow rate (3 and 9 mL/min), bed depth (0.9, 1.8 and 2.8 cm) and influent lead concentration of (5 and 20 mg/L) on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in a fixed-bed column were investigated. The highest adsorption capacity (78 %) on a 20 mg/L Pb (II) solution was achieved within a flow rate of 9 mL/min and a bed depth of 2.8 cm. The experimental data obtained from the adsorption process was correlated with the Thomas, Adams– Bohart and Yoon–Nelson models. The results of the parameters indicated Adams–Bohart model fitted well over the other models.

A fixed bed column packed with chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate (CTPP) beads was used to remove aqueous Fe (III) ions. The adsorption of Fe (III) ions on CTPP beads was found to be dependent on operating conditions, such as the flow rate, adsorbent bed length, and feed concentration. The experimental data were assessed with Thomas, Adams-Bohart and Yoon-Nelson models to predict the breakthrough curves using linear regression. The breakthrough curves were better fitted with the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models when the flow rate was varied and the feed concentration and the bed height of the column were fixed. Therefore, chemical adsorption may be the limiting step that controls the continuous adsorption process. The Adams-Bohart model presented a good fit to the experimental data, showing that external mass transfer was controlling the adsorption process in the initial part of the breakthrough curves. The parameters obtained from the continuous adsorption assays may be used as a basis for designing columns packed with CTPP beads for the removal of Fe (III) ions.

The batch and fixed-bed column adsorption of methylene blue (MB), a widely used toxic dye, onto graphene oxide (GO) was investigated in this study. GO was synthesized using modified Hummers method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize batch and fixed-bed column adsorption of MB. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out by central composite design (CCD) with three input parameters including initial MB concentration (C0: 50-350 mg/L), GO dosage (D: 0.05-0.7 g/L), and pH (pH: 3-9). The adsorption capacity of GO for MB removal in the optimum level of factors (C0: 50 mg/L, D: 0.05 g/L, and pH: 8.5) was predicted by the model to be 700 mg/g. Adsorption kinetic data were tested using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The kinetic experimental data was well fitted with pseudo-second order kinetic model (R2=1). The adsorption of MB onto GO demonstrated that Langmuir model (R2=0.999) could better fit the adsorption data than the Freundlich model (R2=0.914). Thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy (ΔH), Gibbs free energy (ΔG), and entropy (ΔS) were also investigated. Positive value of ΔH and negative value of ΔG indicated the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption. The positive value of ΔS also showed increased randomness at the solid/liquid interface during the adsorption of MB onto GO. The real wastewater experiment at optimum conditions showed high performance of adsorbent in the presence of other ions. Fixed-bed column experiments were designed using a three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design (BBD) to investigate the single and combined effects of influent concentration (Cinf: 50-200 mg/L), flow rate (Q: 0.25-0.8 mL/min), and bed height (BH: 3-7 cm). MB removal from GO in the optimum levels of factors (Cinf: 51 mg/L, BH: 5.7 cm, and Q: 0.25 mL/min) was predicted by the model to be 86% (qe=459.3 mg/g). Fixed-bed experimental data were also fitted well to the Thomas and BDST models. The results showed that GO can be used as an efficient adsorbent for batch and fixed-bed adsorption of cationic dyes from synthetic and real wastewater.

The performance of nanosilver loaded bamboo-based activated carbon as an adsorbent used for the adsorptive removal of formaldehyde in the air. The size porous of the active carbon is predominantly on the size of mesoporous and microporous. Adsorption tests have been evaluated in laboratory scale fixed-bed column, at different temperatures and initial formaldehyde concentration. In order to investigate is both equilibrium and thermodynamic aspects. The experimental data was fitted with Langmuir model and fit well with the adsorption capacity of 91-110 mg/g. The increase in temperature reduces the adsorption capacity. The thermodynamic parameters show that the values of ∆Go obtained to confirm the feasibility of activated carbon effective sorbents of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde adsorption process is exothermic and adsorbent has a good affinity to formaldehyde.
