Abstract

Personal care products (PCP's) are products used
commonly to maintain personal hygiene. It has been found that PCP's is affecting
the water bodies over the world. Conventional treatment methods are not
sufficient for the treatment of PCPs. In this study, the removal of PCP's from
barber salon wastewater - grey part by the adsorption process was investigated.
The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) by different adsorbents;
active carbon, raw human hair, and basalt were assessed and compared. To
achieve that, 1 g of the proposed materials were added to 100 mL of the grey
barber wastewater. The combinations were inserted into 250 mL beaker to prevent
any unpredicted loss. The beakers were agitated at 150 rpm in an orbital shaker
for 24 h at room temperature. The initial value of the COD was measured and
founded to be 2400 mg/L. The COD removal efficiency by active carbon, raw human
hair, and basalt was founded to be 63%, 85%, and 38.3% respectively. Since the
maximum removal efficiency was obtained when basalt was used as an adsorbent,
the response surface method was used to design and optimize the adsorption
process onto the basalt only. When 0, 2318 g of the basalt was used, the
adsorption capacity increased until 40th minute, the capacity had been constant
at 721 mg/g. The use of waste material in the treatment of wastewater is a
green engineering application.

BERBER SALONU GRI ATIK SUYUNUN ADSORPSIYON PROSESI ILE ARITIMI: AKTIF KARBON, INSAN SAÇI VE BAZALT ADSORBENTLERININ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Kişisel bakım ürünleri (PCP), kişisel hijyeni korumak için yaygın olarak kullanılan ürünlerdir. PCP'lerin dünyadaki su kaynaklarını etkilediği daha önceki çalışmalarda bulunmuştur. Geleneksel arıtım yöntemleri ise PCP içeren atık suların arıtımı için tek başına yeterli değildir. Bu çalışmada, PCP içeren berber salonundan alınan gri atık suyun adsorpsiyon işlemi ile arıtımı araştırıldı. Adsorpsiyon işleminin farklı adsorbanlar (aktif karbon, ham insan saçı ve bazalt) tarafından, kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı (COD) üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirildi ve karşılaştırıldı. Bu amaçla, 100 mL berber salonunun gri suyuna 1 g adsorban ilave edildi. Deneyler sırasında beklenmedik bir taşmayı önlemek için 250 mL'lik behere karışımlar ilave edildi. Beherler, oda sıcaklığında 24 saat boyunca bir orbital çalkalayıcıda 150 rpm'de çalkalandı. Atık suyun, KOİ'nin başlangıç değeri 2400 mg/L olarak ölçüldü. Aktif karbon, ham insan saçı ve bazalt adsorpsiyonu ile KOİ giderim verimi sırasıyla; %63.0, %5.0 ve %38.3 olarak tespit edildi. Yanıt yüzeyi yöntemi (RSM), sadece maksimum giderim verimliliği elde edilen bazalt adsorbanı için, adsorpsiyon işlemini tasarlama ve optimize etme için kullanıldı. Adsorpsiyon kapasitesi, adsorbent miktarı 0.228 g olduğunda 40. dakikaya kadar arttı, daha sonra kapasite 721 mg/g'da sabitlendi. Sonuç olarak adsorpsiyon işlemi; Freundlich izotermi ve Pseudo ikinci dereceden kinetik reaksiyonuna sahip olduğu bulundu.
