PHOSPHATE REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY CHITIN AND CHITOSAN IN FLAKES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article presents the effectiveness of phosphate adsorption on the flakes of chitin and chitosan. Studies performed determined adsorption capacity of chitin and chitosan, best among the tested adsorption pH and the equilibrium time. Langmuir model was used to describe the results. The highest removal efficiency of phosphorus compounds using chitin was obtained at pH 3 and with chitosan at pH 4. The study of phosphate equilibrium concentration time obtained for both sorbents was carried out at three concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 mg/dm3. The highest sorption efficiency of the phosphate using chitin was achieved after 20 minutes of the process and at the chitosan after 40 minutes. In the case of chitosan after the equilibrium time the effect of partial P-PO4 release was observed, which could be related to the change in pH of the solution by the sorbent. Studies have shown that chitosan is a more effective absorbent for phosphorus compounds. The maximum adsorption capacity of chitosan with phosphate was 6.65 mg/g, and chitin - 2.09 mg/g.
