Adsorptive treatment of brewery effluent using activated Chrysophyllum albidium seed shell carbon

Abstract

Chrysophyllum albidium seed shell, an abundant, biodegradable and inexpensive natural resource was used as a precursor to bioadsorbent production for the removal of suspended and dissolved particles (SDP) from initially coagulated Brewery Effluent (BRE). Influence of key parameters such as contact time, bioadsorbent dose, pH and temperature were investigated using batch mode. The thermal behavior studies were evaluated using Thermogravimetric and Differential scanning calorimetric analyses. The morphological observations and functional groups of the bioadsorbents were determined using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium, thermodynamics and kinetic of SDP adsorption on H3PO4-treated shell and NH4Cl-treated shell were examined at specified temperatures. Equilibrium data sufficiently fitted the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.99; SSE < 0.09). The pseudo-second order kinetic model provided the best correlation (R2 > 0.99; SSE < 0.14) with the experimental data. The values of ΔG° and ΔH° indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the process. This study demonstrated that C. albidium seed shell could be utilized as low cost, renewable, ecofriendly bioadsorbent for the uptake of SDP from BRE.

Perikinetics and sludge study for the decontamination of petroleum produced water (PW) using novel mucuna seed extract

“…These are analyses (TGA and DSC) that account for the thermal behavior of samples (Brukh and Mitra 2007;Vyazovkin 2012;Menkiti et al 2014). Figures 6, 7, and 8 show the TGA and DSC curves for MS, MSC, and PTSS.…”

Deturbidization of Petroleum-Produced Water by Novel Mucuna Seed: Characterization, Kinetics, and Statistical Analyses

“…iv. Twenty milliliters of the upper layer of the settling effluent (supernatant) was drawn from a depth of 2 cm at 3,5,10,15,20,25,30,35, and 40 min during the settling period. The collected samples were drained into different 100-mL plastic bottles.…”

“…TGA gives information with respect to the change in weight of a substance due to chemical reaction and physical transition [27][28][29][30]. On the other hand, DSC evaluates the effects of heat Fig.…”

Post-treatment sludge analyses and purification of paint effluent by coag-flocculation method

“…The early and late weight losses in Figs. 7b and 8b were due to loss of internal moisture and labile component, respectively, from samples [37,38]. The eutectic points of SSAT due to inhomogeneous deposition of varying suspended and dissolved particles are depicted in Fig.…”

“…Figures 7a and 8a show the DSC profile for TFS and TFC over 37.5-296.875°C and 37.5-297°C, with enthalpy of 12.039 and 11.439 kJ/mol, respectively. The transition could be due to de-stringing and coiling of carbon chain resulting in spontaneous densification [37,38]. Densification depicted in Figs.…”
