Abstract

Silicified coal (SC) consisting of SiO2 is a promising raw material for adsorbent. The present study aimed to utilize silicified coal bottom ash (SCBA) adsorbent by calcination of the SC at temperatures of 600, 800, and 1000 oC for 1 hour. The FTIR result showed that the SCBA_600, SCBA_800, and SCBA_1000 had chemical functional groups such as the asymmetric Si-O-Si, the symmetric Si-O-Si and Si-O-Si bond rocking for adsorption of phosphate (PO4 3) with the lowest percentage of transmittance of SCBA-1000. The adsorption test showed that rapid adsorption occurred in the first 10 minutes of contact time, and it did not change significantly for the rest of contact time until reaching an equilibrium time of 30 min. The PO4 3 adsorption efficiency and capacity fluctuated over the initial PO4 3 in solution in the 60.02480.29 mg/L range. The highest PO4 3 adsorption efficiency and capacity were at 480.29 mg/L, 95.49 %, and 45.86 mg/g, respectively, using the SCBA-1000. The adsorption kinetic fitted better to the pseudo-second-order kinetics model (average R2 = 0.999) with the adsorption capacity of 45.454, 45.662, and 45.872 for the SCBA_600, SCBA_800, and SCBA_1000, respectively, and the PO4 3 adsorption rate was 0.0007, 0.0008 and 0.001 g/mg.min, respectively. The adsorption isotherm followed Langmuir model (average R2 = 0.873), with the adsorption capacity being 2.357, 1.198, and 8.196 mg/g, respectively, and the pore volume being 0.0316, 0.0364 and 0.2103 L/mg, respectively.

Abstract

This paper proposed adsorbent development by synthesizing polyurethane foam (PUF) using a simple method, mixing polyol with isocyanate and adding fillers of bentonite and magnetite to the PUF matrix. The study's main objective was to produce a PUF-based adsorbent with high reactivity to removeHg2+ in wastewater. This bentonite and magnetite filler-modified polyurethane foam (BMPUF) adsorbent was fixed in a bed column for the adsorption of mercury (II) ions from an aqueous solution. The effect of initial Hg2+ concentration on the removal rate and the effect of contact time on adsorption efficiency was investigated. Langmuir, Freundlich, and BET non-linear models were taken into account to determine the best adsorption isotherm fitting and obtain adsorption capacity, intensity, and pore volume. As a result, it followed the non-linear Freundlich model, and the average adsorption capacity and intensity were 0.466 mg/g and 0.923, respectively. The average BET-based pore volume obtained was 0.782 L/mg. The kinetics study showed that the non-linear pseudo-first-order kinetics model was more suitable for describing the Hg2+ adsorption kinetics. The maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity was 1.770 mg/g with the adsorption rate of 0.0013 min-1 based on the non-linear model. The effect of varying bentonite and magnetite ratio on adsorption isotherm and kinetics was also investigated. Overall, the potential application of BMPUF adsorbent in the adsorption of mercury (II) ions was demonstrated in the current study.
