| Popis: | Methylene blue (MB) adsorption from aqueous phase was investigated. Pretreated walnut shell, as adsorbent was used. Experiments were conducted in a batch system for determination of sorption equilibria and then the data were incorporated in a packed column for the removal of MB from synthetic wastewater. The generated wastewater was contained 4 mg/l of MB. The wastewater was pumped through the column with flow rate of 18 ml/min and the effluent samples were collected. The effect of influent MB concentration (4 and 8 mg/l) and pH (5, 7 and 9) of wastewater on removal efficiency of dye were investigated. Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was implemented to interpret the experimental data. The obtained results revealed that the sorption data were well described by Langmuir model at pH value of 9. At contact time of 300 min, maximum equilibrium adsorption of MB uptake 6.7mg/g adsorbent was achieved. |
