Adsorption Equilibrium Adsorption vs. Absorption –Adsorption is accumulation of molecules on a surface (a surface layer of molecules) in contact with an air or water phase –Absorption is dissolution of molecules within a phase, e.g., within an organic phase in contact with an air or water phase

Adsorption Absorption (“partitioning”) PHASE I PHASE 2 PHASE I ‘PHASE’ 2 Henry’s Law

The Jargon of Adsorption

Causes of Adsorption Dislike of Water Phase – ‘Hydrophobicity’ Attraction to the Sorbent Surface –van der Waals forces: physical attraction –electrostatic forces (surface charge interaction) –chemical forces (e.g.,  - and hydrogen bonding)

Adsorbents in Natural & Engineered Systems Natural Systems –Sediments –Soils Engineered Systems –Activated carbon –Metal oxides (iron and aluminum as coagulants) –Ion exchange resins –Biosolids

Engineered Systems - Removal Objectives Activated carbon (chemical functional groups) –Adsorption of organics (esp. hydrophobic) –Chemical reduction of oxidants Metal oxides (surface charge depends on pH) –Adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) –Adsorption of inorganics (both cations & anions) Ion exchange resins –Cations and anions –Hardness removal (Ca 2+, Mg 2+ ) –Arsenic (various negatively charged species), NO 3 -, Ba 2+ removal

Steps in Preparation of Activated Carbon Pyrolysis – heat in absence of oxygen to form graphitic char Activation – expose to air or steam; partial oxidation forms oxygen-containing surface groups and lots of tiny pores

Factors Affecting Activated Carbon Properties Starting materials (e.g., coal vs. wood based) and activation Pores and pore size distributions Internal surface area Surface chemistry (esp. polarity) Apparent density Particle Size: Granular vs. Powdered (GAC vs. PAC)

Adsorption Isotherms Add Same Initial Target Chemical Concentration, C init, in each Different activated carbon dosage, C solid, in each Control An adsorption ‘isotherm’ is a q vs. c relationship at equilibrium

Example. Adsorption of benzene onto activated carbon has been reported to obey the following Freundlich isotherm equation, where c is in mg/L and q is in mg/g: A solution at 25 o C containing 0.50 mg/L benzene is to be treated in a batch process to reduce the concentration to less than 0.01 mg/L. The adsorbent is activated carbon with a specific surface area of 650 m 2 /g. Compute the required activated carbon dose. Solution. The adsorption density of benzene in equilibrium with c eq of mg/L can be determined from the isotherm expression: A mass balance on the contaminant can then be written and solved for the activated carbon dose:

Example If the same adsorbent dose is used to treat a solution containing mg/L toluene, what will the equilibrium concentration and adsorption density be? The adsorption isotherm for toluene is: Solution. The mass balance on toluene is:
