Abstract

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) reduction of wastewater from soybean tofu production was studied by conducting advanced oxidation process (AOP) using hydrogen peroxide with UV radiation catalysts in a closed cylindrical glass reactor. The hydroxyl radical (*OH) concentration from H2O2 decomposition was modeled, and exponential trends were found for the *OH concentration over radiation time and operation temperature. As a result, it was found that the maximal *OH concentration was 0.209 mol L-1 at 240 minutes and 50 °C. The *OH concentration exponentially increased following rise in operation temperature. The H2O2/UV AOP application reduced COD concentration to approximately 42.41% from 10,545 to 6,073.2 mol L-1 at 240 minutes and 50 °C. In addition, the pseudo second order kinetics is a reliable model to present the COD reduction kinetics with the correlation coefficient R2 in the range of 95.9 to 99.4%. The kinetics constant increased with rise in operation temperature, and it was approximately 2.30E-07, 2.590E-07, and 3.03E-07 L mg-1min-1 for 30, 40, and 50 °C, respectively. The activation energy of COD reduction obtained was approximately 0.0138 J mol-1.

Abstract

Adsorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from Limonia acidissima fruit shell (LAFS-AC) was conducted in batch mode experiments at pH 5 (±0.15), 100 rpm and 1 atm. The effects of contact time, initial Cu(II) ions concentration, KOH concentration, and adsorption temperature on Cu(II) ions adsorption capacity were investigated. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses were performed to investigate the active site and surface morphology of the LAFS-AC, respectively. The Cu(II) ions adsorption was fitted very well (R2 = 0.94 on average) to the pseudo second-order adsorption kinetic with the adsorption capacity and rate being 25.58 mg/g and 0.07 g/mg.min, respectively at 27 oC by the LAFS AC activated using 0.5 M KOH. It was 26.88 mg/g and 0.15 g/mg.min, respectively at 60 oC. The Cu(II) ions adsorption followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model (LAIM) (R2 = 0.98 on average). The LAIM adsorption capacity and constant were 26.67 mg/g and 0.03 L/g, respectively at 27 oC. It increased dramatically to 0.09 L/g at 60 oC. The optimal adsorption condition obtained was the 0.5 M KOH activated LAFS-AC, initial Cu(II) concentration of 509.81 mg/L and 120-min contact time at 60 oC with the Cu(II) ions adsorption capacity of 26.95 mg/g.
