Abstract: | The aim of this work is to investigate the application of fly ash adsorbent for removal of arsenite ions from dilute solution
(100–1,000 ppm). Experiments were carried out using material from the “Turów” (Poland) brown-coal-burning power plant, which
was wetted, then mixed and tumbled in a granulator to form spherical agglomerates. Measurements of arsenic adsorption from
aqueous solution were carried out at room temperature and natural pH of fly ash agglomerates, in either a shaken flask or
circulating column, to compare two different methods of contacting solution with adsorbent. Adsorption isotherms of arsenic
were determined for agglomerated material using the Freundlich equation. Kinetic studies indicated that sorption follows a
pseudo-second-order model. Preferable method to carry out the process is continuous circulation of arsenite solution through
a column. |
