“…The q t vs. t 1/2 plot is a multi-linear plot which explains that there are two or more steps in the adsorption process. This result is in agreement with the result reported by Zhou et al (2011), the adsorption process may be determined in three steps which includes rapid external surface sorption, gradual interior surface sorption, and final equilibrium step where the adsorption rate starts to slow down.…”

“…Several studies have reported the removal of bisphenol A by adsorption onto several adsorbents (Bautista-Toledo et al 2005;Gong et al 2009;Nakanishi et al 2002;Tsai et al 2006;Zhou et al 2011). However, so far, there is no report describing the preparation of activated carbons from oil palm EFB waste employing ZnCl 2 as chemical agent and evaluating its potential in the removal of bisphenol A.…”

The potential of the activated carbon prepared from the empty fruit bunch of oil palm wastes to remove bisphenol A (BPA) from aqueous media was investigated. The experiments were performed by varying the contact time, activated carbon dose, initial BPA concentration, and pH of the solution. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to discuss the adsorption behavior. The equilibrium data were perfectly represented by the Langmuir isotherm with R 2 of 0.9985. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of the activated carbon was found to be 41.98 mg/g. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic with a rate constant of 0.3×10 −3 /min. The activated carbon was characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses. The results of the present study indicate that the activated carbon prepared from the empty fruit bunch is a promising candidate as a low-cost bio-adsorbent for the removal of BPA from aqueous solution.

“…Due to huge consumption for BPA in various industries, worldwide production of this material is huge and BPA release into the environment as well as in surface water is possible during manufacturing processes and by leaching from final products [3,4]. Many research results evidence of BPA causing adverse health effects, even very low doses can result in permanent character changes in the mature living beings [5]. High concentration of BPA can be contained in wastewater from its production factories because it is partially removed during wastewater treatment.…”

Treatment of endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) from aqueous solution was studied using electrocoagulation followed by electrochemical oxidation techniques. An aqueous solution of bisphenol-A (BPA) was used as the model contaminant of EDC. The present experimental study has revealed two major treatment techniques such as electrocoagulation followed by electrochemical oxidation processes. These two treatments can be operated independently in batch mode processes. In the first stage, the aqueous BPA solution was subjected to the electrocoagulation under various operating conditions. In electrocoagulation, aluminum (Al) electrode, at the current density of 12 mA cm −2 , 56.12% of chemical oxygen demands (COD) removal was achieved in a relatively short treatment time of 20 min. After completion of electrocoagulation, the sample was then subjected to electrochemical oxidation with different current density. In the electrochemical oxidation, complete COD removal could be achieved at current density of 12 mA cm −2 within 50 min of treatment time. Kinetic analysis indicates that the removal rate might be obeyed as a first order model. The results of UV-vis spectrum showed that at the end of the treatment, BPA compound was completely removed from the aqueous solution. Electrochemically produced sludge was characterized using fourier transform infra red spectroscopy.
