The current work aims at separating by adsorption of low-molecular-weight organic compounds in a nanofiltration concentrate of the olive mill wastewaters. The experimental investigations on adsorption of phenol/tyrosol in single and binary systems were conducted in batch mode by using the commercially available macroporous resins FPX66 and MN202. The structures of such resins were examined by FTIR before and after adsorption. The operating parameters affecting the adsorption process such as resin dosage, contact time, pH, and initial concentration of phenol/tyrosol were investigated. Fast phenol and tyrosol uptakes were observed for both resins. It can be attributed to their physical properties, for instance high specific area and microporous area. The adsorption selectivity of phenol is larger than tyrosol when using FPX66 resin, but smaller if MN202 resin is used. Acidic pH appeared to be always favourable for the adsorption. A synergetic effect between solutes was observed since adsorption of phenol and tyrosol in the binary systems was faster than the individual sorption of each solute. Five isotherms namely Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin- Radushkevich, Temkin and Redlich-Peterson were selected to fit the obtained equilibrium experimental data. Finally, desorption of the examined compounds with ethanol (EtOH) allowed a maximum around 85 % of phenol, and equal to 94 % of tyrosol on FPX66 and MN202 resins. |
