    The document summarizes an adsorption study that examined the removal of Ferum in groundwater treatment using different amounts of adsorbent. Table 1 shows the initial Ferum concentration and concentration at equilibrium for different containers with varying adsorbent mass. The data fits the Freundlich isotherm model better than the Langmuir model based on the regression values. The document also presents calculations to determine the amount of granular activated carbon needed to treat 6500 m3/day of effluent to reduce bromoform concentration based on known Freundlich coefficients, and estimates the bed life to be around 11 days.

    1 Lect 9
    a) Table 1 shows set of data for an adsorption study of Ferum removal in groundwater
    treatment which was conducted in five different containers. The volume of groundwater in each
    container is 1 L. Given the initial concentration of Ferum in Groundwater is 25 mg/L.

    Container Mass of adsorbent in each container Concentration at equilibrium


    (g) (mg/L)
    A 25 10.2
    B 50 3.6
    C 100 2.5
    D 150 2.1
    E 200 1.4
    F 250 1.4

    i) Plot the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption using given data. Evaluate which isotherm
    present a better regression. (Can use Excel to R value). Then copy graphs in excel into
    word doc for submission.
    Solution

    Container Co Ce x = Co - Ce m x/m Ce/(x/m)


    (mg/L) (mg/L) (mg) (g) (mg/g)
    A 25 10.2 14.8 25 0.592 17.2297
    B 25 3.6 21.4 50 0.428 8.4112
    C 25 2.5 22.5 100 0.225 11.1111
    D 25 2.1 22.9 150 0.153 13.7255
    E 25 1.4 23.6 200 0.118 11.8644
    F 25 1.4 23.6 250 0.094 14.8936
    a) Freundlich

    The graph plotted is more to linear, thus fit to Freundlich isotherm. R2 = 0.839 which is
    83.9% of these values fit the regression analysis model and more to positive relationship.
    Therefore, Freundlich isotherm present a better regression.

    b) Langmuir

    Ce (mg/L)
    The plot for the Langmuir isotherm is curvilinear so the use of this isotherm is
    inappropriate. The regression value R2 = 0.273. The value more to 0 means no
    relationship between two variables. The percentage is 27.3%.

    b) Determine how muchgranular activated carbon will be required to treat an effluent flowrate
    of 6500 m3/day to reduce bromoform concentration from 0.09 to 0.025 mg/L. Given the
    Freundlich adsorption isotherm coefficient for bromoform are: Kf = 19.6 and 1/n = 0.52.
    Determine the bed life.
    Solution
    Given:
    i) Effluent flowrate = 6500 m3/day
    ii) Initial concentration, Co = 0.09 mg/L
    iii) Final concentration, Ce = 0.025 mg/L
    iv) Freundlich capacity factor, Kf = 19.6
    v) Freundlich intensity factor, 1/n = 0.52
    Given:
    i) Granular activated carbon (GAC) density = 34.4 kg/m3 = 34.4 g/L
    ii) Empty bed contact time = 10 min

    1. Estimate the GAC usage rate:


    mPAC = Co – Ce = Co - Ce
    Qt qe Kf Ce1/n
    = 0.09 – 0.025
    19.6 x 0.0250.52
    = 0.023 g GAC/L

    2. Effluent flowrate unit conversion:

    6500 m3 x 1000 L x 1 day = 4513.89 L/min


    day 1 m3 1440 min

    3. Determine the mass of carbon required a 10 min empty bed contact time (EBCT)
    (Volume of GAC in column/ Volumetric flowrate)@(Length of GAC in
    column/velocity of water)

    Carbon required = EBCT x flow x GAC density


    = 10 min x 4513.89 L/min x 34.4 g/L
    = 1552.78 kg

    ⸫ Therefore, the mass of granular activated carbon (GAC) required for 10 min
    EBCT is 1552.78 kg.

    4. Determine vol of water treated using a 10 min EBCT


    = mass of GAC /GAC usage rate
    = 1553000g/0.023 g/L
    = 6.75 x 107 L

    5. Determine the bed life


    = Vol of water treated/ Q
    = 6.75x 107 L / (4514 L/min)(1440 min/d)
    = 10.39/10.4 days = 11 days
