| dc.description.abstract | The dynamic fixed bed adsorption has been recommended as a practical method for the removal of contaminants from the industrial effluent. In this work, the real intention of the study was to investigate the effective removal of Methylene Blue (MB) onto coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) in a fixed-bed column. The important parameters such as feed flow rate of MB (4-7 mL/min), bed height of CSAC (2-4 cm) and initial dye concentration (20-60 ppm) on the behavior of the breakthrough curves and adsorption performance was studied. The results indicated that the breakthrough curves were dependent on the feed flow rates of MB solution, bed height of CSAC and initial MB concentration. The breakthrough time, saturation time and adsorption capacity were recorded for all process variable. Adams-Bohart, Thomas, MDR, and BDST model were selected to study the performance of the column adsorption. The adsorption capacity, the rate constant, non-linear coefficient of determination (r 2 ) and sum the squared of error (SSE) of each model was determined. Thomas, MDR and BDST model fitted well the adsorption data compared than the AdamBohart model. The results indicated that the CSAC was shown to be suitable adsorbent for adsorption of MB dye using fixed-bed adsorption column. Total bed height for scale-up 24 hours was studied and it is well suited for industries that operated for 24 hours. | en_US |
