Texte intégral

Résumé :

Batch and column experiments were performed to investigate the adsorption of bacteriophage MS-2 to silica at pH 5. Linear isotherm analysis of batch experiment data gave partition coefficient (KP) estimates of 270 cm³/g and 580 cm³/g for 4°C and 24°C, respectively. Breakthrough-type column experiments indicated that sorption and desorption were slow, as evidenced by a slow approach to breakthrough and tailing of the desorption limb. A non-equilibrium advection-dispersion model with all adsorption sites on the silica assumed to be kinetically controlled was used to model the column data. The mo

Résumé :

Two surface water sources in the southwestern United States, Colorado River Water (CRW) and California State Project Water (SPW), were studied in bench-scale experiments examining two Trihalomethane (THM) precursor removal processes, activated carbon adsorption and ozone oxidation. Both source water contained bromide (Br-) ion leading to brominated THMs upon chlorination. Activated carbon removed THM precursors, as measured by dissolved organic carbon (DOC), while having little effect on bromide. The net result was an increase in the ratio of Br-/DOC and an increase in the relative abundance o

Résumé :

This study was conducted to examine the kinetics of manganese sorption on oxide-coated filter media. Initial experimentation confirmed the findings of other investigators, the Mn2+ sorption capacity of oxide-coated media increases as solution pH increases. Further study revealed that uptake rate kinetics could be described by first order kinetics and also increased with increasing solution pH. The addition of free chlorine (HOCl) to solution greatly enhanced Mn2+ uptake rate kinetics. Later studies indicated that the oxide coating had very little impact on the physical properties of the media

Résumé :

Ferrihydrite in a suspension has been studied as a solution for purification of arsenic contaminated water. Many development countries, amongst them Burkina Faso, have arsenic in their groundwater and the current methods for purification are too expensive. Measurements have shown extremely high levels of arsenic in the groundwater in several places in Burkina Faso. Since the availability of surface water is limited, the groundwater is still used as drinking water. A suspension of ferrihydrite has capacity to adsorb arsenic in water due to its chemical characteristics. Small-scale laboratory

This thesis reports a new remediation approach for the removal of toxic and high priority water pollutants based on the use of modified clays. Novel types of modified clays called inorganic-organic clays (IOCs) were synthesised and their structures and properties were characterised using various techniques. Adsorption behaviours and removal efficiencies of the IOCs towards both organic and inorganic water pollutants in Single and Binary Contaminants System were investigated. The work provides new insights into the structures, properties and potential environmental applications of IOCs in water

The removal of lead from aqueous solution and lead-acid battery manufacturing waste-water by the non-viable biomass of the water fern Azolla filiculoides was investigated in both batch and column reactors. The maximum lead uptake by the Azolla biomass at a pH value of approximately 5, was found to be 100 mg lead/g biomass from aqueous solution. Lead removal varied from 30% of the initial lead concentration at pH 1.5 to approximately 95% at pH values of 3.5 and 5.6. Lead removal from aqueous solution decreased to 30% of the initial lead concentration if the lead concentration was initially over

Montmorillonite clay has good adsorption properties and the potential for ion exchange. Lignocellulose possesses many hydroxyl, carbonyl and phenyl groups and therefore, both montmorillonite and lignocellulose are good candidates for

Résumé :

Highly ordered mesoporous carbon-silica nanocomposites with interpenetrating carbon and silica networks were synthesized by the evaporation-induced tri-constituent co- assembly approach. The removal of silica by concentrated NaOH solution produced mesoporous carbons, which contained not only the primary large pores, but also the secondary mesopores in the carbon walls. The thus synthesized mesoporous carbon was further activated by using ZnCl2. The activated mesoporous carbon showed an improved surface area and pore volume. The synthesized mesoporous carbon was tested for diuron removal from w

M. Tech. Chemical Engineering.<br>Discusses the application of nanotechnology process to offer wholesale benefits in water and wastewater treatment, extremely very few researches have been conducted in this field. Even with the few, studies have mainly focused on using single ion aqueous solution. Such approach is novel but the results may not give true picture of performance of nano-materials. It's known that water quality adversely affect sorption process. It's thus product to use real field water and wastewater to get valuable results. Presently, there is almost no information is open liter

D.Phil. (Chemistry)<br>This thesis describes the improvement of sorption capacity and efficiency of synthetic and biological adsorbents towards selected pollutants by introducing functional groups on the sorbents. Functionalization was achieved by chemically modifying the binding sites of the studied adsorbents. The sorbent materials considered were chemical resins (Amberlite XAD 1180) and biomass (maize tassels and seaweed). The adsorbents were modified with ethylenediamine in order to improve their capacity for extraction of heavy metals, namely lead, copper and cadmium from water. For the r

Résumé :

Excess fluoride (F-) in drinking water poses a health threat to millions of people around the world. In the present work, activated alumina (AA) has been used as an adsorbent. Data obtained from batch experiments were fitted to the (i) pseudo-first order, (ii) pseudo-second order, and (iii) Langmuir kinetic model. Model (ii) performed better than model (i), and fitted the data well. However, the rate constant for adsorption ka had to be varied as a function of the initial concentration of F- in the liquid phase c0. A more satisfactory approach is provided by Langmuir model, which fitted the d

M.Tech. (Extraction Metallurgy)<br>For many decades, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been used as adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from wastewaters because of their unique properties such as inert surface, resistance to acid and base environment, rigidity and strength. Herein is a report of application of functionalised CNTs on the adsorption of metal ions from aqueous solutions and mine leachates. The CNTs were first synthesised in-house, purified, functionalised and characterised with various characterisation techniques: FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared), SEM (Scanning Electron Microsco

M.Sc.<br>The metallurgical industrial losses of base metals with waste solutions are an environmental threat to water sources, hence these metal ions must be removed prior to discharge into receiving bodies. In this study, Southern African clinoptilolite’s capability as an ion-exchanger with respect to Cu2+ and Co2+ was investigated in order to consider its application in metal cation removal from aqueous solutions. The clinoptilolite was characterised with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), FTIR, thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) and SEM-EDS. The clinoptilolite was found
