摘要
Continuous adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue (RBB) dye in water onto sulfuric acid activated red mud (CATRM) in a fixed bed column was investigated. Breakthrough curves were obtained experimentally by varying the bed height (Z), influent flow rate (Q), and dye concentration(C 0 ). The adsorption efficiency in the removal of RBB was favored at lower C 0 , higher Z, and lower Q. The maximum adsorption capacity of the activated red mud bed in the column was obtained at C 0 = 70 mg/L, Z = 8 cm, and Q = 5 mL/min and found to be 106 mg/g. Important parameters of column dynamics and design such as mass transfer zone (MTZ) and length of unused bed (LUB) were evaluated from the breakthrough curves. The MTZ and LUB have varied with varying Z, which indicated the existence of nonideal conditions. Thomas model was found to be valid to predict the column dynamics and the model parameters were evaluated. Bed depth service time (BDST) model parameters were evaluated to facilitate the determination of packed bed height for the design of packed bed adsorption column. The bed could be regenerated with NaOH solution with desorption efficiency decreasing from 83.8 to 55.72% from the first to third cycle. A fixed bed of CATRM can be effectively used for continuous dye removal from industrial wastewater.
