The Removal of Rubber Particles from Skim Rubber Latex by Batch Adsorption Technique Using Organoclay

Article Preview

Abstract:

Clay modified with organic surfactant, DDA-MMT, Closite 15A, 20A, and 25A, act as effective adsorbent in organic wastewater applications. Due to the inorganic character of MMT, the organic adsorption ability of MMT was improved by replacing the exchangeable cation. The experiment was tested using wastewaters from removal of skim NR from concentrated NR industry. The ability to remove organic contaminants from aqueous solution, based on different molecular structures of organically modified clays, was evaluated using UV/VIS spectroscopy, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biological oxygen demand (BOD). In addition, other quality indicators of wastewater and product were measured before and after the treatment with coagulating method.
