TRANSITION METAL COMPOSITE FOR THE REMOVAL OF PAHs FROM AQUEOUS PHASE: ADSORPTION KINETICS AND ISOTHERM STUDIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work describes the zinc ferrite nano particles as an efficient adsorbent in the removal of PAHs (ploy cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) namely Acenaphthene (ACE), Anthracene (ANT) and benzo[a] pyrene (BAP) from aqueous media. The batch experiments were employed to determine the effect of initial adsorbate, adsorbent concentration and contact time. The adsorption of ACE, ANT and BAP reached equilibrium after 60,70 and 80 minutes respectively. qe exp = 18.12, 18.36 and 18.78 μg/g respectively.The higher adsorbate concentrations were associated with increase in the percentage removal and the value of qe. The adsorption followed pseudo second order kinetics and experimental data fitted using the Langmuir isotherm model.
