Abstract
A continuous fixed-bed column study was used to evaluate phosphate adsorption performance of U-D-Na which was functionalized by the cheap NaCl reagent after simple ultrasonic purification of diatomite. In this work, various effect factors, including flow rate, initial phosphate concentration, and the bed height, on breakthrough performance of fixed column were investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that the breakthrough time declined with the increase of inlet phosphate concentration and feed rate, whereas the increase of bed height turned out to significantly extend the breakthrough time. The dynamic adsorption process could be well fitted by the Thomas model, with a correlation coefficient R2 > 0.9000 under main operating conditions. A thrice loop of effective regeneration was achieved with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid eluent and deionized water. The maximum removal rate for phosphate was more than 95% in the column adsorption process. The results proved that U-D-Na could be used as a better alternative phosphate adsorbent for wastewater in a continuous column sorption process.
