Adsorption Column

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.

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.

Defluoridation Of Water

Abstract A continuous adsorption study in a fixed-bed column was carried out by using Tinospora cordifolia as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from aqueous solution. The effect of flow rate, influent fluoride concentration and bed depth on the adsorption characteristics of adsorbent was investigated at pH 7. The dependencies of breakthrough curves on these parameters were confirmed from the data obtained. Modeling of data was done. Thomas, Yoon–Nelson and Adams–Bohart models were applied to experimental data to predict the breakthrough curves. These kinetic models were helpful to determine the characteristic parameters of column designing for defluoridation on a large scale. Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were found to be more suitable for the description of the breakthrough curve than the Adams–Bohart model in the present study. It was concluded that the Tinospora cordifolia-packed column can be used for effective defluoridation of water.

Chrysanthemum Indicum

The biosorption capability of Chrysanthemum indicum to remove nickel ions from aqueous solution in a fixed-bed column was examined in this study. Native C. indicum flower waste was improved for its biosorptive potential by pyrolysis to obtain its biochar form and, thereby, both raw (CIF-R) and biochar (CIF-BC) forms of the flower were used for Ni(II) removal. Fixed bed column studies were conducted to examine the influence of bed height (1.0–3.0 cm), flow rate (1.0–5.0 mL min−1) and initial metal ion concentration (25–75 mg L−1). The breakthrough curves (Cout/Cin vs time) were modelled using different dynamic adsorption models, viz. Adams-Bohart, Thomas and Yoon-Nelson model. Interpretation of the data revealed a favorable correlation with the Thomas model with higher R2 values and closer model-predicted and experimental biosorption capacity values. The equilibrium uptake capacity of CIF-R and CIF-BC for Ni(II) were found to be 14.02 and 29.44 mg g−1, respectively. Further, the column was regenerated using HCl as eluent, to desorb the adsorbed Ni(II) ions. The experimental results implied and affirmed the suitability of the biosorbents for nickel ion biosorption with its nature being favorable, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

Granulated Tolypocladium biomass (industrial waste) was tested as mercury biosorbent in continuous mode (fixed bed column). Supplied material contained approx. 70% of fungal biomass and 30% of inert material (diatomaceous earth). Prior to column experiments, batch sorption was also performed. The results of batch experiments were compared to our previous results obtained for powdered biomass (100% biomass material) and an important drop of sorption capacity was observed. For column experiments, the bed height and flow rate were kept constant and the influence of both initial mercury concentration and bead size was investigated. The Adams Bohart, the Thomas and the Yoon and Nelson models were used for the characterization of breakthrough curves.

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 goal of this article describes the potential of utilizing jojoba leaves and also modified with chitosan as an efficient adsorption materials for Congo red dye removal in a fixed-bed column. Inlet dye concentration, feed flow rate and bed height had a great influence on determining the breakthrough curves. The percentage dye removal was found to be approximately 69% of coated jojoba leaves with flow rate 3 mL/min, initial concentration 50 mg/L and 4 cm bed height. The dye uptake capacity at equilibrium (qe) for coated jojoba leaves showed higher values than that found for jojoba leaves. On this basis, this implies that the amino groups played an important role during the adsorption process. Breakthrough curves were satisfactorily in good agreement with both Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models based on the values of correlation coefficient (R2 ≥ 96).This study serves as a good fundamental aspect of wastewater purification on jojoba leaves as a novel adsorbent for the uptake of Congo red dyes from aqueous solution in a column system.

An experimental study was carried out aimed at establishing a data base for an optimum design of a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor for biotransformation of ammonium fumarate to L-aspartic acid catalyzed by immobilized cells of the strain Escherichia alcalescens dispar group. The experimental program included studies of the effect of reactor geometry, catalytic particle size, and packed bed arrangement on reactor hydrodynamics and on the rate of substrate conversion. An expression for the effective reaction rate was derived including the effect of mass transfer and conditions of the safe conversion-data scale-up were defined. Suggestions for the design of a pilot plant reactor (100 t/year) were formulated and decisive design parameters of such reactor were estimated for several variants of problem formulation.
