Fixed-bed operating experimental column conditions were studied to evaluate the performance of brick from Bangui Region (in Central African Republic), coated with iron oxyhydroxide (ferrihydrite) for removal iron(II) aqueous solution. The prediction theoretical breakthrough profiles using Bohart and Adams sorption model was employed achieve characteristic parameters such as depth exchange zone,...

Fixed-bed sorption process can be very effective at removing arsenic from contaminated groundwater. In this study, a continuous operation was demonstrated for the removal of both arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] from aqueous media in a column packed with nanoscale iron–manganese binary oxides (NIM). Treatment performance of the sorbent was quantified by upflow column experiments at diffe...

The adsorption of basic dyes from aqueous solutions onto granular activated carbon and natural zeolite was studied using a fixed bed column. The design procedures for fixed bed adsorption columns were investigated for two basic dyes Maxilon Goldgelb GL EC 400 % (MG-400) and Maxilon Schwarz FBL-01 300 % (MS-300). A computer program based on the solid diffusion control model has been developed. T...

ground water is the major source of drinking water in rural and semi-urban areas of assam. it contains an excessive amount of iron (1 to 10 mg/l). people living in rural and semi-urban areas of assam uses indigenous household iron filter units – developed using community prepared wooden charcoal (cpwc) and river sand (rs) as filter media. cpwc and rs processed and respectively termed as process...
