Abstract
In the current study, we investigated the kinetics and thermodynamics of phosphorus removal by zeolite/steel slag/fly ash/basalt (ZSFB) composite fiber. Kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption of phosphorus is best fitted with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the fiber calculated [...] Read more.
In the current study, we investigated the kinetics and thermodynamics of phosphorus removal by zeolite/steel slag/fly ash/basalt (ZSFB) composite fiber. Kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption of phosphorus is best fitted with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the fiber calculated by the Langmuir model was found to be 4.18 mg/g and the partition coefficient was 1.49 mg/g/µM. Thermodynamics results revealed that the Gibbs free energy ΔG0 of the composite fiber was negative, indicating that the adsorption is a spontaneous process; the standard enthalpy of reaction ΔH0 was positive, indicating that the adsorption is endothermic. Adsorption under different influencing factors and desorption experiments were conducted to investigate the phosphorus removal characteristics of ZSFB composite fiber. Dynamic adsorption and the phosphorus removal experiment were also conducted in a fixed-bed reactor to study factors affecting the time of breakthrough. Results indicate that the performance of ZSFB composite fiber was not relatively outstanding compared with nanomaterials and magnetic composites. However, its performance has already met the class A demands of “discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant” (GB18918-2002) which means it can be applied to remove phosphorus from real wastewater in a cost-effective way with low-priced raw materials.
