Abstract
Preparation of a novel environmentally friendly and cost-effective composite adsorbent for fluoride removal is presented in this work. An activated sludge lysis ash/chitosan (ASLA/C) composite adsorbent was synthesised using an in situ coprecipitation method, and the removal effect of the material was analysed by static adsorption, isothermal adsorption and kinetic adsorption tests. Langmuir model could better describe the adsorption process and the adsorption was in accordance with the kinetic equation of the pseudo-second-order kinetics reaction. The values of adsorption thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were indicated that the adsorption of fluoride ions is a spontaneous, heat-absorbing entropic process, and the reaction was carried out by a combination of mechanisms, such as electrostatic adsorption, ion exchange, surface complexation and hydrogen bonding. The experimental results indicated that ASLA/C can be used as a cheap and readily available alternative efficient adsorbent where the maximum fluorinate absorption was observed with 7.714 mg g−1, while solving the problem of waste from activated sludge lysis disposal and realizing the environmental benefits of waste.This publication has 56 references indexed in Scilit:
