| Summary: | There have been investigated potential evaluation of equilibrium adsorption isotherm for the removal of nitrates from water solutions using two types of char produced in commercial-scale pyrolysis based on recycled waste rubber tires. Liquid phase adsorption studies were performed under batch conditions and maximum adsorption capacity was determined. Equilibrium data were mathematically modelled using two-parameters Langmuir, Freundlich, three-parameters Redlich-Peterson, Toth, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Radke-Praushnitz, combined Langmuir-Freundlich and four-parameters Fritz-Schlunder, Marczewski-Jaroniec, Bi-Langmuir adsorption models. Obtained results revealed the potential use of the studied char adsorbents for nitrates removal from aqueous media (the maximum adsorption capacity at equilibrium 10.07 mg/g, have been achieved for CH-1 char). The Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm had the best fit for the adsorption experimental data over the whole concentration range. The highest percentage of NO3 removal efficiency onto CH-2 char achieved in NO3 initial concentration range from 26.44 to 66.55mg/L reaching values in the range of from 80.74 to 78.7%. |
