Ultrasonik Aktifleştirilmiş Aktif Karbon ile Krom (VI) Adsorpsiyonu

Öz

Bu çalışmada, sulu çözeltilerden Cr (VI)’nın ham ve ultrasonik aktiflenmiş ticari aktif karbon ile giderimi araştırılmıştır. Farklı dozlardatemas süresinin ve çözelti pH’ının etkinliği incelenmiştir. Adsorpsiyon sürecinin Freundlich ve Langmuir izotermlerine uygunluklarıaraştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, 120 dakikalık temas süresinin yeterli olduğu görülmüştür. pH 2’de en yüksek verim elde edilirken, pHyükseldikçe adsorpsiyon veriminin düştüğü belirlenmiştir. pH 2’de, 25 °C sıcaklıkta, 200 rpm karıştırma hızında, 25 mg/L Cr (VI) çözeltisiile 200 mg/L aktif karbon ile yapılan deneylerde, ham aktif karbonun adsorpsiyon kapasitesi 100 mg/g iken, 20 kHz frekansta 100 Wultrasonik güçte 10 dk süreyle ultrasonik işlem sonucunda 111 mg/g’a yükselmiştir. Böylece aktif karbonun adsorpsiyon kapasitesi,ultrasonik ön işlem ile arttırılmıştır. Cr (VI)’nin ham ve aktiflenmiş aktif karbon ile adsorpsiyonu için, Langmuir izoterminin uygun olduğubelirlenmiştir.

In this study, removal of Cr(VI) with raw and ultrasonic activated commercial active carbon was investigated. The effect of contact time and solution pH at different dosages was examined. The fitting of adsorption period for Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms was determined. As a result, it was observed that 120 minute-contact time was sufficient. While maximum efficiency was obtained at pH 2, it was determined that adsorption efficiency decreased as pH increased. In the experiment performed with 200 mg/L active carbon in 25 mg/L Cr (VI) solution at pH 2, 25°C temperature and 200 rpm stirring speed, adsorption capacity of raw active carbon was 100 mg/g while it was increased to 111 mg/g as a result of 10 minute-ultrasonic process at 20 kHz frequency and with 100 W ultrasonic power. Thus, adsorption capacity of active carbon was improved with ultrasonic pretreatment. It was determined that Langmuir isotherm was suitable for the adsorption of Cr(VI) with raw and activated active carbon.
