Sorption of Zinc(ⅱ) Onto Point of Use Granular Activated Carbon From Coke (POU-GACFC) Impregnated With Waste Tea Leaves Carbon (WTLC) From Water/Wastewater

摘要

Zinc is one of the toxic metals which is present in air, soil, water and food. It is emitted into the environment from various industries and plants (zinc smelters, zinc plating, galvanizing, in making alloys, etc.). In the present paper, adsorption studies are carried out. Here adsorbent point of use granular activated carbon (POU-GACFC) impregnated with waste tea leaves carbon (WTLC) has been used for sorption of zinc(Ⅱ) from water/wastewater. A design of treatment system for water containing zinc is shown.
