Study of Adsorption Kinetics of Heavy Metals in Acid Drainage from Coal Mining in Type A Zeolites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present work studied the adsorption of ions of iron and manganese of the effluent from coal acid mine drainage (AMD), located in South of the Santa Catarina using for this purpose type 4A zeolite. Were tested the Langmuir adsorption isothermal model. Tests of adsorption of heavy metals were performed by varying the adsorption time and the ratio of the volume of effluent and the amount of adsorbent. The results showed the efficiency of kinetic adsorption of iron and manganese ions by the zeolite.
