摘要
Batch sorption system using plaster of Paris as an adsorbent was investigated to remove fluoride ions from aqueous solutions. The system variables studied include initial concentration of the sorbate, agitation time, adsorbent dose, pH, co-ions and temperature. The experimental data fitted well to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Thermodynamic parameters such as Delta H degrees, Delta S degrees and Delta G degrees were calculated indicating that the adsorption was a spontaneous and exothermic. Kinetic studies reveal that the adsorption is first order. A mechanism involving three stages (external surface adsorption, intraparticle diffusion and final equilibrium) has been proposed for the adsorption of F- onto plaster of Paris. XRD patterns of the adsorbent were recorded to get a better in sight into the mechanism of adsorption process. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
