A fixed bed of raw rice husk was used for the removal of Zn (II) from aqueous solution. The material as adopted was found to be an efficient media for the removal of Zn (II) in continuous mode using fixed bed column. Different column design parameters like depth of exchange zone, flow rate and initial concentration were calculated. When conducted with Zn (II) concentration 10 mg.L-1 and flow rate 10 ml.min-1 with different bed depths such as 3, 6 and 9 cm, the equilibrium uptake was 3.366, 2.847 and 2.764 mg.g-1, respectively. The equilibrium uptake decreased from 2.802 to 1.975 mg.g-1 with increasing of flow rate from 5 to 15 mL.min-1 and increased from 2.764 to 3.798 mg.g-1 when initial concentration increased from 10 to 30 mg.L-1. The dynamics of adsorption process was modeled by bed depth service time (BDST), and indicating the validity of BDST model when applied to the continuous column studies.

The performance of low-cost adsorbent such as rice husk fixed bed column in removing copper from aqueous solution were studied in this work. Different column design parameters like bed height, flow rate and initial concentration were calculated. It was found that at 10 mg/L concentration of Cu (Ⅱ) and at flow rate 5 mL/min with different bed depths such as 9, 12 and 15 cm, the breakthrough time increases from 150 to 260 min; the breakthrough time increases from 125 to 780 min with decreasing of flow rate from 15 to 5 mL/min and decreased from 260 to 50 min when initial concentration increased from 7 to 50 mg/L.

Fixed-bed column studies for the removal of Ag(Ⅰ) and Cr(Ⅲ) from individual aqueous solutions using puffed rice husk were investigated in this work. The experiments were conducted to study the effect of important column parameters such as bed height, feed flow rate and feed initial concentration of solution. It was found that increasing bed depth yielded longer service time while increase in influent concentration and flow rate resulted in faster breakthrough. Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) model was applied to analyze the experimental data and the model parameters were evaluated. Good agreement of the experimental breakthrough curves with the model predictions was observed.

The main objective of this work was to design and model fixed bed adsorption column for the adsorption of vanillin from aqueous solution. Three parameters were evaluated for identifying the performance of vanillin adsorption in fixed-bed mode, which were bed height, vanillin initial concentration, and feed flow rate. The maximum adsorption capacity was increased more than threefold to 314.96 mg vanillin/g resin when the bed height was increased from 5 cm to 15 cm. Bohart-Adams model and Belter equation were used for designing fixed-bed column and predicting the performance of the adsorption process. A high value of determination coefficient (R2) of 0.9672 was obtained for the modelling of vanillin adsorption onto resin H103.

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.

Continuous fixed-bed column studies were performed using nanocomposite beads made up of chitosan, polyethyleneimine, and graphene oxide as adsorbents for the removal of methyl orange (MO) in water. The effects of different operating parameters such as initial MO concentration (5, 10, and 15 ppm), bed height (10, 17.5, and 25 cm), and flow rate (27, 43, and 58 mL/min) were investigated using an upward-flow fixed-bed column set-up. The breakthrough curves generated were fitted with Adams-Bohart, Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Yan et al. models. The results showed that Yan et al. model agreed best with the breakthrough curves having an R2 as high as 0.9917. Lastly, design parameters for a large-scale adsorption column were determined via scale-up approach using the parameters obtained from column runs.

A continuous adsorption study in a fixed-bed column was carried out using a chitosan–glutaraldehyde biosorbent for the removal of the textile dye Direct Blue 71 from an aqueous solution. The biosorbent was prepared from shrimp shells and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The effects of chitosan–glutaraldehyde bed height (3–12 cm), inlet Direct Blue 71 concentration (15–50 mg l−1), and feed flow rate (1–3 ml min−1) on the column performance were analyzed. The highest bed capacity of 343.59 mg Direct Blue 71 per gram of chitosan–glutaraldehyde adsorbent was obtained using 1 ml min−1 flow rate, 50 mg l−1 inlet Direct Blue 71 concentration, and 3 cm bed height. The breakthrough curve was analyzed using the Adams–Bohart, Thomas, and bed depth service time mathematical models. The behaviors of the breakthrough curves were defined by the Thomas model at different conditions. The bed depth service time model showed good agreement with the experimental data, and the high values of correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.9646) obtained indicate the validity of the bed depth service time model for the present column system.

In the present paper, the adsorptive Pb(II) removal from synthetic aqueous solutions using a 2 cm diameter hydroxyapatite column has been studied through column adsorption experiments by varying column depths (1, 2, 3, 4 cm) and flow rate (10, 15, 22.5 mL/min). Different types of synthetic hydroxiapatites have been involved in experiments. Column design parameters such as critical bed depth and adsorption capacity have been determined from experimental studies. The results revealed the effectiveness of synthetic hydroxyapatite porous beads in Pb(II) removal from aqueous synthetic solutions.
