Abstract

Fluoride removal by acid and heat treated red mud were studied in batch and column system regarding contact time, initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, and filter depth. The results showed that acid treated with 0.8 M HCl, had highest adsorption capacity of fluoride and adsorption capacity decreased as heat treatment temperature increased. Sorption equilibrium reached in 30 min at a initial concentration of 50 mg-F/L but 1 h was required to reach the sorption equilibrium at the initial concentration of 500 mg-F/L by 0.8 M acid treated red mud (0.8 M-ATRM). Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm model with maximum fluoride adsorption capacity of 23.162 mg/g. The fluoride adsorption decreased as pH increased due to the fluoride competition for favorable adsorption site with $OH^-$ at higher pH. Removal percentage was increased but the amount of adsorption per unit mass decreased by adding the amount of 0.8 M-ATRM. It was concluded that the 0.8 M-ATRM could be used as a potential adsorbent for the fluoride removal from aqueous solutions because of its high fluoride adsorption capacity and low cost.

Red mud의 염산처리와 열처리에 의한 불소의 제거 특성을 살펴보고자 동역학적 흡착, 평형흡착, pH, 흡착제의 주입량에 따른 흡착특성, 그리고 칼럼을 이용한 연속식 조건에서의 불소흡착 특성을 살펴보았다. Red mud의 산처리는 HCl 0.8 M 농도에서 효과적이었고, 열처리 온도가 높음에 따라 흡착량이 감소하였다. 0.8 M로 산처리한 Red mud (0.8 M-ATRM)의 동역학적실험 결과 초기농도 50 mg-F/L는 30분대에 평형농도에 도달하였고, 초기농도 500 mg-F/L에서는 1시간대 흡착평형을 나타내었다. 0.8 M-ATRM은 단층흡착을 가정한 Langmuir 모델에 잘 부합하였고, 최대흡착량($Q_m$)은 23.162 mg/g으로 나타났다. 또한 낮은 pH에서 높은 불소 흡착경향을 나타내었다. 이는 높은 pH에서 불소와 $OH^-$가 경쟁관계를 형성하기 때문으로 판단된다. 0.8 M-ATRM의 주입량이 증가 할수록 제거율은 높아졌지만, 단위질량당 흡착량은 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 0.8 M-ATRM은 가격이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 불소에 높은 흡착능을 나타내어 수중 불소 제거에 효과적인 흡착소재로 판단된다.
