Abstract EN
This study deals with the removal of residual pollutants from tanning wastewater by continuous adsorption mechanism, using local sand as a low-cost adsorbent.
The possibility of pretreating a complex tannery effluent heavily loaded with a natural material such as sand is significant.
The characterization of the adsorbent before and after continuous adsorption was performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.
Column studies were also carried out to evaluate the performance of the adsorbent and the efficiency of column adsorption.
The adsorption kinetic rate seems to be strongly influenced by certain parameters such as the particle size of the material used, the withdrawal rate of the influent and the height of the adsorbent bed, and optimized parameters were found to be 63 μm, 15 ml·min−1, and 7 cm, respectively, and the color removal has achieved maximum values which vary between 95 and 100%.
The results suggest that sand can be used as an economical adsorbent for the removal of color from the wastewater of the tanning industries.
