摘要
Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of fluoride removal by aluminum and iron electrodes in electrocoagulation technology were investigated and compared in a batch reactor. Adsorption equilibrium for Al-EC and Fe-EC were conducted at a range of current density (J) 19-38 and 10-18.50 mA/cm(2), respectively, while the treatment time was at a range of 15-60 min to study the adsorption kinetics. The surfaces of flocs produced were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of fluoride in both Al-EC and Fe-EC fitted well to the Freundlich model and pseudo second order. The removal mechanisms of fluoride were through ion exchange and electrostatic attraction in Al-EC and Fe-EC, respectively both occurred spontaneously and were physical in nature. The Al(OH)(3) and Fe(OH)(2) exhibited monolayer adsorption capacities of 131 and 0.08 mg/g, respectively. Thus, the Al(OH)(3) in Al-EC is a better candidate for defluoridation compared to Fe(OH)(2) of Fe-EC during electrocoagulation technology.
