Abstract

Household liquid waste which contains ammonium is one of the major contributors to the wastewater effluent. The aim of investigation is to characterize and determine the adsorption capacity of natural zeolites from Cikalong for ammonium removal.  The effect of cations type, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, on ammonium desorptions was studied. Kinetic desorption study was also performed and fitted with various kinetic models. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, the Cikalong natural zeolites were mordenite and clinoptilolite dominant type.  The morphology of the mordenite phase was appeared as needles shape. The ratio of Si to Al was 6.86 according to X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The surface area was 187 m2/g which was determined by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) model. Desorption using K+ solution showed the shortest time and the highest rate for ammonium desorption. The calculation using nonlinear method was carried out to optimize the desorption kinetic parameters. The pseudo 1st order desorption kinetics model showed the smallest error with sum of squared error (SSE) 0.00209.

Abstract

Methane as a potential green house gases contributor which gives 21 GWP has to be mitigated to diminish the global warming effect. High concentration methane can be easily converted into CO2 by mean oxidation. However lean methane can only be oxidized in catalytic reaction system as the catalyst lowers the reaction temperature up to 400 oC. Nevertheless, this is still high temperature to achieve by low concentration and low temperature feed. It still needs preheating the feed until its reaction condition reached which can be supplied outside or within the system called auto thermal. One of promising auto thermal reactor is reverse flow reactor which is the reactor that its feed flow periodically switches to make the heat trapped inside the reactor. In this work we have designed reverse flow reactor by one-dimensional model, pseudohomogeneous for mass and heterogeneous for energy to burn lean methane from a station compressor. The critical parameter of switching time on the system of periodical reversal is also presented
