Abstract
Salt adsorption from water onto the activated carbon was studied by a set of batch adsorption tests. Isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, Halsey and Redlich-Peterson) were used to study the experimental data for the adsorption isotherm analyzed. For magnesium, R2 is equal to 0.98 for all isotherms, and for calcium, the Langmuir value is 0.97, while for sodium, the Langmuir value is 0.98, which is more suitable than the other isotherms. The experimental data were examined using three kinetic models, including first-second-order and intra-diffusion ones with R 2 value of 0.96, 0.67 and 0.93 respectively. According to the kinetic models, the first -order isotherm model better fit adsorption on the surface of activated carbon, as compared to other models. Similarly, the results of the experiment were provided via the computational fluid dynamics evaluation. Moreover, the results obtained by CFD were compared with the experimental data, and their accuracy was proved. Subsequently, the effects of changing the design and operating parameters, including flow rate (6, 12, 30 L min−1) and bed height (5, 10, 20 cm), on the performance of this tower were studied. The results showed that by reducing the adsorbent, the adsorbed metals increased and a longer bed was required for adsorption, which was not cost-effective. The amount of adsorption decreased as the flow rate increased, indicating that there was little contact between the metals and the adsorbent.
