Adsorption Kinetics of Lignite Activated Carbon in Treating Coal Gasification Wastewater

Abstract:

Lignite activated carbon was provided through lignite which is treated specially. The adsorption capacity and mechanism of COD from Coal gasification wastewater by lignite activated carbon have been studied.The adsorption capacities of lignite activated carbon at different times were obtained by concentration of COD in the remainder solution. Three simplified kinetic models: pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion equations were adopted to examine the mechanism of the adsorption process. The results showed that the adsorption can be expressed by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption balance capacity was obtained as 50.8mg·g^-1 (298K), and the adsorption balance capacity decreased with increasing of temperature, which showed that the adsorption process was exothermic. The adsorption activation energy (Ea) was calculated as 5.76kJ·mol^-1, and it showed that the adsorption process was Physical adsorption. This study explored new treatment channels for lignite comprehensive utilization..
