Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Solution by Natural Zeolite in Fixed-Bed Column: Effect of Bed Depth

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of bed depth on adsorption ability of natural zeolite to removal methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution in the fixed-bed column was studied. The results showed that the increase in column height favored the MB removal form solution. The equilibrium uptake of MB onto unit mass zeolite increased with the bed depth growth. The experimental data were fitted to Yan model using linear and nonlinear regression analysis, respectively. The experimental points and the predicted curves using the Yan model were compared and the error analysis was performed. The results indicated that Yan model were good to predict the breakthrough curves and both two methods can be used to obtain the parameters of Yan model and to predict the breakthrough curves.
