TLDR
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.
