Modification of surface, physical and chemical properties of activated carbons for water purification Department:Chemical Engineering By: felix123 Project ID: 368 Rating: (2.7) votes: 79 Price:₦1000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe purpose of this work was to study the effect of chemical surface properties of activated carbons for their use in water purification. To achieve this objective, activated carbon in both granular and powdered forms namely: as received and devolatilized carbons were prepared. Proximate analysis of the carbon materials was performed. Mass titration experiments were carried out to determine the point of zero charge of the activated carbon materials. Again, using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, the adsorption of phenol on as-received and devolatilized activated carbon was investigated. Adsorption isotherms were acquired from which the monolayer adsorption capacities were calculated....Preview Download Preview +Other Chemical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Modification of surface, physical and chemical properties of activated carbons for water purification»Analysis of bush pear and its oil»The kinetic study on hydrolysis of cellulose (saw-dust)»Effect of particle size on oil yield using scent bean seed (ozaki)»Refining of palm kernel oil»Assessment of carbon monoxide (CO) level in Enugu metropolis monitoring industrial and residential area»Production of briquette from waste materials using locally fabricated equipment»Design, fabrication and test run of a single column vegetable oil refiner»Analysis of vegetables oil before and after refining
