Extraction of Iron Ions (II) from Aqueous Solutions with Carbonic Sorbents

SUMMARY

The absorbing capacity of carbonic sorbents of ИПИ-Т mark regarding iron ions (II) has been studied. Sorbents on the basis of carbonated polymer materials stable to aggressive media, have a developed specific surface area, inexpensive. Isotherms of adsorption under static conditions at temperature of 298 K have been obtained. The isotherm of adsorption is described satisfactorily by the Langmuir equation. Results of the study shows that carbonic sorbents of ИПИ-Т mark are able to sorb iron ions (II), in the process, a sorption capacity is 0,24 mole/g. The kinetics of the process has been studied, thermodynamic parameters of sorption have been determined. The sorption method of treatment with the use of sorbents of ИПИ-Т can be economically sound. Сarbonic sorbents are perspective for selective extraction of iron ions (II) from industrial wastewater.

The use of carbon sorbents to remove manganese from aqueous media

Summary

The work is devoted to the study of manganese adsorption from aqueous solutions by carbon materials. The data on the concentration of manganese compounds in the surface and underground waters of the Kemerovo Region, as well as possible sources of its entry into natural waters are given. A brief analysis of the proposed methods of water demanganation is given. The experimental results of the studies of Mn (II) extraction from aqueous media under equilibrium conditions with carbon sorbents of different price categories, differing in the raw materials, production technology, technical characteristics and chemical state of the surface, are presented. It has been established that the greatest amount of manganese is extracted by ABG sorbent. The obtained adsorption isotherms were analyzed using the theories of monomolecular adsorption (Freundlich and Langmuir equations); and the main adsorption parameters were calculated. It is determined that the Langmuir model describes manganese adsorption isotherms with a lower correlation, which allows to assume manganese adsorption on heterogeneous adsorption centers. The approximate consumption of the sorbent required to remove manganese from water to the standard values was estimated. Per totality of the data obtained for the demanganation of natural waters, a carbon sorbent is proposed characterized with the high adsorption capacity in relation to manganese and coupled with the low cost.

Removing iron with carbon sorbent from plating wastes

Summary

The results of investigating adsorption capacity of sorbents in relation to iron ions (III) under static and dynamic conditions (with the use of isotherms and kinetic adsorption curves) are presented. To provide for removal of iron ions (III) and tertiary treatment of plating wastes IPI-T activated carbon was used that was produced from the wastes of phenol-formaldehyde resin production and modified with sulfosalicylic acid for IPI-Tm sorbent production was used. The maximum rate of sorbate passing through the sorbent layer was 5–7.5 ml/min which corresponded to the linear velocity of 1.5–2 m/h under full-scale conditions. The main factor that affects the sorption process is pH with optimal value of 1.79. Constants of BET adsorption equation for IPI-Tm modified sorbent were determined. The limiting sorption capacity of the monolayer was 128 mmol/kg, for IPI-T sorbent – 20.8 mmol/kg, limiting adsorption А∞ – 100 mmol/kg, adsorption equilibrium constant – 1·104; at that standard Gibbs energy of adsorption was 22.819 kJ/mol. Under dynamic conditions the time of the protective effect of IPI-Tm sorbent was 4 hours, i. e. 2 hours longer compared to IPI-T sorbent, and the volume capacity for IPI-Tm was 7.2 mg/l, i. e. twice as high as that for IPI-T.
