Abstract

Water pollution is a physical, chemical, biological or bacteriological degradation of its natural qualities, caused by man and his activities. Also is caused by the discharge of water soiled by our domestic activities (washing and cleaning, evacuation of our urine and faeces, etc.) or by the various industrial and agricultural activities, necessary to provide the food and goods we need. During this work, we focused on reducing the abatement rate of urban wastewater by adsorption method using commercial activated carbon. Different experimental parameters were analyzed: contact time and adsorbent mass. The experimental results made it possible to determine the contact time and the optimal mass of activated carbon for BOD5, COD and TSS (t = 180 min and m = 1 g). Kinetic study results show that equilibrium is established after 180 min and that the pseudo-second-order model describes our absorption phenomenon well.
