ADSORPTION OF 2,4,6-TRICHLOROPHENOL ON ACTIVATED CARBON

Abstract

2,4,6-Trichlorophenol is a phenolic compound which is widely used in the production of pesticides, herbicides, wood, leather and glue preservatives. In addition, 2,4,6- trichlorophenol may form during the treatment of phenol containing industrial wastewater with hypochlorite or during the disinfection of drinking-water sources. The removal of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is significant because of its high toxicity, carcinogenic properties and persistence [1]. In this study, the adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on powder activated carbon from aqueous solution was investigated using batch method. In the experimental studies; the effects of solution pH, equilibrium time, amount of activated carbon and temperature on adsorption were investigated. The adsorption isotherms were analyzed applying the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and the constants of isotherms were calculated. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo first order and pseudo second order models. According to the obtained results; the maximum adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was observed at pH=3. It was determined that using 2g/L of activated carbon provided 98% removal from 500 mg/L of solution at 25oC. It was observed that the adsorption was reached to the equilibrium in 24 hours and the kinetic data fitted well to the pseudo second order model. It was also found that temperature does not affect the adsorption significantly. The isotherms were very well represented by Langmuir

model and the monolayer capacity at 25oC was calculated as 833 mg/g. The results showed that the powder activated carbon is useful as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol.
