Research on the Cr (VI) Absorption by Activated Sludge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The adsorption performance of Cr (VI) on activated sludge and the effect of adsorption time, pH, temperature on the adsorption and desorption were studied. The initial pH is important for biosorption, and the optimum effect on Cr (VI) biosorption is acquired within initial pH of 0.5-1.0. Activated sludge has high efficiency of treating low concentration Cr (VI) wastewater. The removal rate of Cr (VI) could reach 99% when the total concentrations of Cr (VI) were 10 mg/L. The results of static test showed that the adsorption equilibrium was reached within 60 min. The biosorption process was fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm adsorption equations. It is presumed that the progress of biosorption was reversible adsorption and irreversible adsorption simultaneously, however the reversible adsorption was more important in the biosorption and the adsorption belongs to physics adsorption.
