Abstract EN
Coated sand (CS) filter media was investigated to remove phenol and 4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions in batch experiments.
Local sand was subjected to surface modification as impregnated with iron.
The influence of process variables represented by solution pH value, contact time, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on removal efficiency of phenol and 4-nitrophenol onto CS was studied.
Batch studies were performed to evaluate the adsorption process, and it was found that the Langmuir isotherm effectively fits the experimental data for the adsorbates better than the Freundlich model with the CS highest adsorption capacity of 0.45 mg / g for 4-nitrophenol and 0.25 mg / g for phenol.
The CS was found to adsorb 85 % of 4-nitrophenol and 65 % for phenol at an initial concentration of 25 mg / ℓ.
