Abstract
The chromaticity of polyethylene glycol (PEG) generated from the recyling of a silicone slurry waste was improved by using activated carbon powder and a carbon filter. The color change of the PEG waste was investigated by changing the amount of adsorbent, adsorption time and temperature. The surface area of activated carbon did not have a significant impact on improving the color of the PEG waste. According to the results for the APHA color variation of the PEG waste changing the amount of the carbon adsorbent, the optimal usage to achieve the low APHA value was 100~150 mg-C/g-PEG. From the investigatnion on the effect of the adsorption temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$, it was found that the optimal temperatures were $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ in terms of achieving the lowest APHA value. The variation of the APHA color was investigated by changing the operation condition of the activated carbon filters. The use of ACF was a good way to enhance the chromaticity of the PEG waste. As a result, the APHA value of the PEG waste (APHA=53 at the initial waste) was reduced to be 10 through the ACF purification. It was also confirmed that the performance of the used carbon adsorbent can be recovered by the washing with purified water.
