Manufacturing & Kinetic Study of Activated Carbon From Industrial Waste for Grey Water treatment
The average grey water contribution to the total organic load (BOD) amounts
about 40 – 50%. Grey water also contributes to one fourth of the total suspended solids and
up to two thirds of the total phosphorous load. Dishwashing and laundry detergents are the
main sources of phosphorous in grey water. In countries where phosphorous-free detergents
are used, these loads are minimal. Kitchen grey water is the main source of nitrogen in
domestic grey water, while the lowest levels are generally observed in bathroom and laundry
grey water. In terms of microbial contamination, grey water may still contain pathogens
given the likelihood of cross-contamination with excreta. However, this is user-dependent
and microbial contamination of the grey water especially with faecal coli forms is generally
low, and the risk to contract diseases when grey water is used for irrigation without any prior
treatment is very minimal.

and golf course irrigation. Other non potable applications include cooling water for power
plants and oil refineries, industrial process water for such facilities as paper mills and carpet
dyers, toilet flushing, dust control, construction activities, concrete mixing, and artificial
lakes
Although most water recycling projects have been developed to meet non potable
water demands, a number of projects use recycled water indirectly for potable purposes.
These projects include recharging ground water aquifers and augmenting surface water
reservoirs with recycled water. In ground water recharge projects, recycled water can be
spread or injected into ground water aquifers to augment ground water supplies, and to
prevent salt water intrusion in coastal areas. The use of gray water at decentralized sites for
landscape irrigation and toilet flushing reduces the amount of potable water distributed to
these sites, the amount of fertilizer needed, and the amount of wastewater generated,
transported, and treated at wastewater treatment facilities. In other words, water reuse saves
water, energy, and money. Thus treating your wastewater in the soil under your own fruit
trees definitely encourages you to dump fewer toxic chemicals down the drain.
1.5Chemical parameters
General features of greywater are that it contains lower concentrations of organic matter, of
some nutrients (e.g. nitrogen, potassium) and microorganisms than blackwater. But the
concentrations of phosphorus, heavy metals and xenobiotic organic pollutants are around the
same levels. The main sources for these pollutants are chemical products such as laundry
detergents, soap, shampoo, toothpaste and solvents.

Fig 1.2Activated carbon sample
The macropores act as transport pathways, through which the adsorptive molecules
travel to the mesopores, from where they finally enter the micropores. The micropores
usually constitute the largest proportion of the internal surface of the activated carbon and
contribute most to the total pore volume. Most of the adsorption of gaseous adsorptive takes
place within these micropores, where the attractive forces are enhanced and the pores are
filled at low relative pressures. Thus, the total pore volume and the pore size distribution
determine the adsorption capacity.
The dynamics of adsorption in a packed activated carbon bed are influenced by the
shape and size of the activated carbon particles and their effect on the flow characteristics.

The smaller an activated carbon particle is, the better the access to its surface area and the
faster the rate of adsorption. For spherical beads, the diameter can be measured easily. For
cylindrical extrudates, an equivalent spherical diameter, deqv, can be calculated from the
radius and length of the extrudate. However, for particles of irregular shape and a wide size
distribution, it is difficult to derive deqv. In such cases particle sizes derived from sieve
analyses can be useful parameters for determining adsorption rate.

2. Carbonization
Carbonization is the thermal separation of carbonaceous materials, elimination of organic
materials and production of porous fixed carbon. This process is usually carried out in a
muffle furnace or in rotary kilns at elevated temperatures. It involves thermal decomposition
of the raw material as it is heated under a time schedule to remove the volatile or non-carbon
entities leaving basically carbon possessing a partially developed or rudimentary pore
structure.
blockages of the micropores by pyrolytic products, which can only volatilize at higher
temperatures. According to temperature below 600℃ are suitable for the production of chars

that are to be activated with steam but this is not an invariable rule. Carbonization product is
non-active material as a result of its small surface area.
3. Activation
This is the process of transforming inert carbon into highly adsorbent material by
conferring on it a porous material structure and large specific surface area. The objective is to
enhance the volume and enlarge the pores which were created during the carbonization
process, and also to create new pores. Activation is of two main types, namely physical and
chemical activation.

5. Impregnated carbon
These are porous carbons which have been impregnated with other substances. They
are usually prepared for specific applications in air pollution control especially in museums
and galleries. Silver loaded activated carbon is used as an adsorbent for purification of
domestic water. Drinking water can be obtained from natural water by treating the natural
water with a mixture of activated carbon and flocculating agent [Al(OH)3]. Impregnated
carbons are also used for the adsorption of H2S and mercaptans.

1.11. Properties
Physical properties
Forms
Activated carbons are available in different forms such as symmetrical pellets, irregularly
shaped granules, powder and specialties like pre-formed shapes, example, wool and slurry for
coating supports. The major forms of activated carbon are the powdered form, the granular
form and the pellets.
Particle size
This property is important due to the fact that adsorption rate varies inversely with particle
size. Mathematically,
r α (1/s)
where r is the rate of adsorption and s is the particle size. This means that, an increase in
particle size will lead to a decrease in adsorption rate while a decrease in particle size will
favour high adsorption rate. The finer the particles size of an activated carbon, the better the
access to the surface area and the faster the rate of adsorption kinetics. In vapour phase
systems, this needs to be considered against pressure drop which will affect energy cost.
Careful consideration of particle size distribution can provide significant operating benefits.
Surface area
Activated carbons have very large surface area, typically ranging from 500 – 1400m2g-1 59.
This is an important property of activated carbon as it greatly affects the adsorptive properties
of the carbon. Increase in surface area enhances the adsorptive capabilities of activated
carbon by exposing a wide surface for physical as well as chemical adsorptions.
P.I.E.T NAGPUR 12

Chemical properties
pH
The pH of an activated carbon is a measure of the surface acidity/ basicity of the carbon. This
is the pH of a suspension of the activated carbon in distilled water. The numerical values of
the pH are affected by the experimental conditions when carrying out the experiment. A
carbon pH of 6-8 is acceptable for most application such as sugar decolourization, water
treatment, etc.
Moisture content
This is determined by drying an isolated portion of an activated carbon in an oven at 105 –
110oC until constant weight is attained. This property is important in adsorptive capacity test.
Ash
This is the form in which the inorganic constituents of carbon exist after the carbon has
undergone complete combustion at controlled temperature. Ash in an activated carbon is an
Impurity and is not desired. It reduces the overall activity of the activated carbon and reduces
the efficiency of re-activation.

1.12. ADSORPTION
Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or fluid solute gathers on the
surface of a strong or a fluid (adsorbent), shaping an atomic or nuclear film (the adsorbate). It
is unique in relation to assimilation, in which a substance diffuses into a fluid or strong to
frame an answer. The term sorption includes both procedures, while desorption is the
opposite procedure. Adsorption is agent in most common physical, organic, and synthetic
frameworks, and is broadly utilized as a part of modern applications, for example, enacted
charcoal, manufactured gums and water cleaning. Like surface pressure, adsorption is a result
of surface vitality. In a mass material, all the holding necessities (ionic, covalent or metallic)
of the constituent molecules of the material are filled. Anyway, molecules on the (clean)
surface experience a bond lack, on the grounds that they are not entirely encompassed by
different iotas the adsorbed material is for the most part delegated showing physisorption or
chemisorption process before it is vigorously great for them to bond with whatever happens
to be accessible. The careful way of the holding relies on upon the points of interest of the
species included.

adsorbent to promote good contact between the two components. In the second and third
stages, the concentration gradient between the amount of adsorbate present in the bulk
adsorbate stream and that within the micropore provides the driving force for adsorption.

Where qe is the amount of grey water adsorbed per unit weight of the adsorbent,Ce is the
equilibrium concentration (mg L-1), K and n are the empirical constants and their values

log Ce.
Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm
Where Ce is the concentration of the solution at equilibrium, Qe is the mass of the grey water
adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent. Cm is the mass of the dye that 1gm of adsorbent can
absorb when the monolayer is complete and b is the isotherm constant for particular
adsorbate-adsorbent combination. The Cm and b values were calculated from the intercept
(1/Cm) and slope (1/bCm) of linear plots of 1/qe versus 1/Ce

2. Literature review
R. Sujitha and K. Ravindhranath (2016) studied the active carbon derived from the barks
of Ficus racemosa plant has been developed as bio-adsorbent in the removal of Coomassie
brilliant blue R-250 dye from the effluents of Industries based on the dyes. The sorption
properties have been explored towards the said dye with respect to various physicochemical
parameters such as pH, time of contact, adsorbent dosage, temperature and initial
concentration of the dye and the conditions have been optimized for the maximum removal of
the dye. The adsorption process is found to be maximum at low pH values: 2- 4. The co-ions
generally found in natural waters have not interfered. The adsorption process has been
analyzed using Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherms and the latter model has been found to
be better fit for the observed data indicating the heterogeneous and multilayer nature of the
adsorption process. The Kinetics of adsorption is found to follow pseudo second-order model.
The FTIR data before and after the adsorption of the dye indicate the binding of the dye to the
surface of the adsorbent. The thermodynamic parameters indicate the spontaneous and
endothermic nature of the adsorption. They conclude the maximum dye adsorbed on to
ACFR is found to be 65.0 mg/g. The methodologies developed are successfully applied to
real industrial water samples collected from the effluents of dyeing industries.

Chowdhury, et al., (2011) They studied the potential of activated carbon prepared from
kenaf fiber (KF) to remove copper (II) from aqueous effluents was investigated. The fibers
were first semi-carbonized, then impregnated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and finally
activated by using carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to produce activated carbon. Pore structure and
physical characteristics of the prepared kenaf fiber activated carbon (KFAC) were
determined. Adsorption studies for divalent copper (Cu) ions were carried out to delineate the
effect of contact time, temperature, pH and initial metal ion concentration on equilibrium
adsorption capacity. The experimental data followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and
Elovich Model than pseudo-first-order. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models were
implemented to analyze the parameters for adsorption at 30 oC, 50 oC and 70 oC.
Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔGo, ΔHo and ΔSo which represent Gibbs free energy,
enthalpy and entropy, respectively, were evaluated. It was concluded that activated carbon
from kenaf fiber (KFAC) can be used as an efficient adsorbent for removal of Cu (II) from
synthetic wastewater.

XIAO-JUAN JIN, 2010 Activated carbon was prepared through chemical activation of lignin
from a straw pulping precursor, using K2CO3 and KOH as chemical agents. To optimize the
preparation method, the effect of the main process parameters (such as impregnation ratio,
activation temperature and activation time) on the performance of the obtained activated
carbon (expressed in terms of iodine number and yield of activated carbon) was investigated,
and the actions of the activating agents were compared. The activated carbon prepared by
K2CO3, under optimum conditions, permitted to obtain a BET surface area of 1104 m2/g,
including an external or non-microporous surface of 417 m2/g, an average adsorption pore
width of 2.0 nm, the amount of methylene blue, iodine number and the yield of activated
carbon being of 10.6 mL/0.l g, 1310 mg/g and 19.8%, respectively. As to the carbon activated
by KOH under optimum conditions, its BET surface area was of 917 m2/g, including the
external or non-microporous surface of 231 m2/g, the average adsorption pore width of 2.5
nm, while the amounts of methylene blue, iodine number and yield of activated carbon were
of 9.6 mL/0.l g, 1180 mg/g and 18.7%, respectively.

Hamid Reza Hafizi-Atabaketal, (2013) Studied the Cellulose wastes of a wood and paper
factory were used to produce activated carbon. Several chemical agents under various
conditions were used for production of activated carbon and hence their adsorption properties
have been evaluated. In addition the effect of process parameters such as raw material,
chemical agent concentration, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, carbonization
time, activation temperature, activation time, particle size and soaking time on adsorption
properties and product yield have been studied. Based on experimental results, the optimum
values of process parameters were determined. As an achievement, samples of activated
carbon with specific surface area up to 1100 m2 /g and iodine adsorption number up to 1080
mg/g were prepared. The results indicate that cellulose wastes of wood and paper factories,
particularly those maintained from pulp preparation unit are physically more suitable to
produce activated carbon. The most important parameters affecting the production of
activated carbon by chemical activation method have been investigated, and the optimized
values for the operative comparison between the produced active carbon and some
commercial samples. It’s obvious that produced active carbon has an acceptable comparable
quality.

Nor Adilla Rashidi , 2013 They studied the influence of temperature at 25, 50, and 100 oC
towards the CO2 adsorption capacity. Maximum CO2 sorption capacity on the synthesized
activated carbon is found to be 80 mg CO2 per gram adsorbent. Experimental data is modeled
through Lagergren first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra particle diffusion model. From
the correlation coefficient, it is found that the pseudo-second-order model is well-fitted with
the experimental data. In addition, the activation energy is found to be less than 42 kJ/mol,
and it is proved that the physical adsorption occurs. They conclude that the low-cost activated
carbon can be produced from the coconut by-products. The utilization of the coconut waste is
promising as it consists of mainly carbon and low in inorganic content, aside from the
minimization of the waste problems. The CO2 activation is found to develop porosity of the
activated carbon, which assists the adsorption process. Comparability in the CO2 adsorptions
capacity and complete desorption indicates the practicality of the synthesized activated
carbon to be used in industrial applications. Further, the equilibrium and kinetic of CO2
adsorption onto the activated carbon has been studied. The magnitude of activation energy
which is lesser than 40 kJ/mol indicates an occurrence of the physisorption mechanism.
Besides, the kinetic analysis demonstrates that the CO2 adsorption onto the activated carbon
obeys the pseudo-second-order model, due to its closer R2 value to unity.

unit operation and unit processes. Among many type of adsorbent material activated carbon

O. Ioannidou ,A. Zabaniotou (2006) Studied the production of activated carbons from
agricultural residues is presented. The effects of various process parameters on the pyrolysis
stage are reviewed. Influences of activating conditions, physical and chemical, on the active
carbon properties are discussed. Under certain process conditions several active carbons with
BET surface areas, ranging between 250 and 2410m2/g and pore volumes of 0.022 and 91.4
cm3/g, have been produced. A comparison in characteristics and uses of activated carbons
from agricultural residues with those issued from tires, and commercial carbons, have been
made. A review is carried out of the reaction kinetic modelling, applied to pyrolysis of
agricultural wastes and activation of their pyrolytic char. it seems that the soaking time in the
chemical activation plays a less important role in the production of activated carbon. It is seen
that, by increasing soaking time, the surface area and the pore volume were increased as a
result of the development of porosity. They conclude the values thereafter are observed to
decrease gradually at long soaking time, which is possibly attributed to the gasification of the
few well, developed micro pore walls.

amount of impurities removal was found to be increasing with increase of time. Result found
that initially the rate of adsorption is more and as the time passes the adsorption increases
with increase in removal.
