Dynamic Adsorption on Fixed-Bed Column of Manganese Oxoanions (MnO<SUB>4</SUB><SUP>-</SUP>) in Aqueous Media on Activated Carbon Prepared from Palm Nut Shells

The study of the influence operating parameters dynamic adsorption on fixed-bed column manganese oxoanions (MnO4-) in aqueous media granular activated carbon (GAC), prepared from shells palm nuts Gabon, was carried out. studied were particle size, concentration initial solution (C0) MnO4-, flow rate (D) and pH media. results obtained show that best capacities at saturation (Qsat) MnO4- ion CAG with size between 0.04 -1); 3 mL.min-1 (8.36 mg.g-1) when equal to 3.5 (27.01 mg.g-1). Also, these showed bed GAC appeared more effective C0 low (10 mg.L-1). kinetic models different studies out pseudo-first-order model describes ions GAC. intraparticle diffusion indicate follows a multi-step process is not limiting step. In addition, surface plays predominant role mechanism dynamics.
