TL;DR: In this article, a review of fixed-bed column studies for removal of various contaminants from synthetic wastewater is presented, in which adsorption of chromium metal is most exploitable.
Abstract: Present paper involved the review of fixed-bed column studies for removal of various contaminants from synthetic wastewater. Basic concept of adsorption, its types (i.e., chemisorption and physisorption) and its mechanism, adsorbents and adsorbates were included. Comparison of batch and column adsorption study is mentioned. Complete study of breakthrough curve for designing adsorptive column is interpreted. This paper explicates the detailed explanation of various process parameters and isotherm models for column study. Fixed-bed adsorption studies using various adsorbates, i.e., metal, ion, dye and other hazardous materials, are reviewed, in which adsorption of chromium metal is most exploitable. Conclusion and some challenges for utilization in real world are also exposed.

TL;DR: This study explores the potential use of amine cross-linked reed (ACR) for removing nitrate, phosphate and Cr(VI) from aqueous in a fixed-bed column and found that Tertiary amine group played the main role in uptake of nitrate and phosphate by electrostatic attraction.
Abstract: This study explores the potential use of amine cross-linked reed (ACR) for removing nitrate, phosphate and Cr(VI) from aqueous in a fixed-bed column. Characteristics (surface area, pore structure, FTIR, Raman spectra, XPS, zeta potential and solid NMR) of ACR as well as anions laden samples were intensively investigated. Results indicated that FTIR, Raman and XPS of nitrate and phosphate laden ACR were quite different from those of Cr(VI) laden samples, which corresponded well to their adsorption properties. Tertiary amine group played the main role in uptake of nitrate and phosphate by electrostatic attraction. Characteristics of Cr(VI) laden samples indicated that a reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) occurred on surface of ACR (this was also proved by the zeta potential analysis). However, the main adsorption mechanism for Cr(VI) onto ACR was still based on electrostatic attraction. The maximum dynamic adsorption capacity of ACR for nitrate, phosphate and Cr(VI) was estimated to be 118.9 mg/g, 103.1mg/g and 135.3mg/g. The nitrate/phosphate adsorption capacities of spent ACR after 3 cycles of adsorption-desorption were recovered with 97.3-98.4%. In contrast, only 49.2% of Cr(VI) recovery was achieved, partially due to the destruction of the functional groups on surface of ACR during the Cr(VI) adsorption.

TL;DR: A new theoretical model addressing the adsorption and breakthrough of contaminant vapors or gases with respect to solid sorbents is developed, less complicated and easier to apply to practical industrial hygiene problems than theories developed previously.
Abstract: Using the principles of gas adsorption kinetics, we have developed a new theoretical model addressing the adsorption and breakthrough of contaminant vapors or gases with respect to solid sorbents. Specifically, we have applied the theory to predict respirator cartridge service life in connection with individual contaminant exposure to toluene, vinyl chloride, ethyl acetate, and each of several different trichlorinated hydrocarbons at several levels of concentration. Theoretical expressions and contaminant breakthrough curves derived from our new approach are compared with those published previously by Mecklenburg and by Wheeler. The breakthrough curves derived by Mecklenburg and by Wheeler have approximately the same shape as the corresponding experimental curves for 0% to 40% breakthrough. However, these curves deviate in varying degrees from the experimental data at breakthrough values exceeding 40%. By contrast, our new theory agrees with published experimental results over the entire range of 0% to 10...
