The defluoridation performance of a simple and efficient adsorbent (SAA), developed by H2SO4 treatment of alumina, was explored in fixed-bed adsorption column (FBAC). The SAA demonstrated superior performance compared to unmodified alumina, especially in conditions of increased bed depth, reduced flow rate, and lower fluoride concentration. Furthermore, the SAA showed successful treatment of industrial effluent and reusability for up to four cycles, indicating its suitability for continuous operation in treating fluoride contaminated industrial wastewater or groundwater.
The defluoridation performance of a simple and efficient adsorbent (SAA), developed by H2SO4 treatment of alumina, was explored in fixed-bed adsorption column (FBAC). The SAA was characterized by SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of different process affecting parameters like bed depth (2.5-7.5 cm), influent flow rate (1.5-2.5 mL/min), and fluoride concentration (40-60 mg/L) were explored. The increased bed depth, and reduced flow rate and fluoride concentration were found to improve the column performance. The fitting of Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Clark, BDST, and Yan models to breakthrough curves were attempted. The best fitting (R-2 > 0.9) was exhibited by Clark model. The column exhibited the maximum performance at bed depth of 7.5 cm, influent flow rate of 1.5 mL/min, and fluoride concentration of 40 mg/L. The column performance of SAA was superior to unmodified alumina. The SAA (5 g) demonstrated the successful result (% R = 89.76%; t(b) = 350 min; t(e) = 1037 min) for the treatment of industrial effluent (16.54 mg/L) in FBAC. Besides, the column loaded by SAA exhibited reusability up to four cycles. These results implied the suitability of SAA for the treatment of fluoride contaminated industrial wastewater or groundwater in continuous operating mode. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
