The adsorption of humic acids on granular activated carbon has been investigated. A commerically available humic acid and that extracted from the bottom sludge of a dam were employed in the studies. Both batch and continuous adsorption experiments were conducted. A simplified competitive adsorption model in conjunction with the Freundlich isotherm was employed to represent the batch multicomponent adsorption system and a homogeneous surface diffusion model utilized to describe the continuous adsorption system in a packed-bed column. The model parameters were obtained by best fit of the models to the experimental adsorption data. The results indicated that the liquid-phase mass-transfer resistance, surface diffusion coefficient and the amount of adsorption on the activated carbon decreased with increasing molecular weight of the humic acid. It was also found that the adsorption of humic acid on the activated carbon was primarily a surface diffusion-controlled process.

This research aims to optimize preparation conditions of coconut-shell-based activated carbon (CSAC) and to evaluate its adsorption performance in removing POP of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). The CSAC was prepared by activating the coconut shell via single-stage microwave heating under carbon dioxide, CO2 flow. The total pore volume, BET surface area, and average pore diameter of CSAC were 0.420 cm3/g, 625.61 m2/g, and 4.55 nm, respectively. The surface of CSAC was negatively charged shown by the zeta potential study. Response surface methodology (RSM) revealed that the optimum preparation conditions in preparing CSAC were 502 W and 6 min for radiation power and radiation time, respectively, which corresponded to 84.83% of DDT removal and 37.91% of CSAC’s yield. Adsorption uptakes of DDT were found to increase with an increase in their initial concentration. Isotherm study revealed that DDT-CSAC adsorption system was best described by the Langmuir model with monolayer adsorption capacity, Qm of 14.51 mg/g. The kinetic study confirmed that the pseudo-second-order model fitted well with this adsorption system. In regeneration studies, the adsorption efficiency had slightly dropped from 100% to 83% after 5 cycles. CSAC was found to be economically feasible for commercialization owing to its low production cost and high adsorption capacity.

Study aims to eliminate fluoride from treated waste water or ground water through adsorption technique by using Activated Diatomaceous Earth as a sorbent. Study found that there is no change in pH and TDS, but the concentration of Fluoride ions reduced. The most elimination potential of 71.97 mg/kg turned into achieved for activated diatomaceous earth with particle sizes of 0.075-0.425 mm. The absorbance capability of diatomaceous earth (DE) is 20.73% when used as a filtration media. In this analysis, activated diatomaceous earth was used as an adsorbent in a fixed-mattress column adsorption system for DE fluoridation of water. The XRD, BET surface area, FTIR, XRF, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and pH Point of Zero Charges (pHPZC) evaluation had been executed for adsorbent to explain the mechanisms of absorption and fluoride elimination. The Bradley equation was used to calculate the isothermal data and adsorbent dose. The statistical analyses were performed using Langmuir and Freundlich equations.
