ADSORPTION OF NITRITE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING SAWDUST

Abstract

The adsorption of nitrites ions onto sawdust materials have been studied using a batch system. In this study, using adsorbents are beech, pine, poplar and walnut sawdust materials. The maximum adsorption percentage was occured by beech sawdust. In the studies, the effects of adsorbents and the solution of initial pH for beech sawdust were analysed using the first order reversible reaction kinetic model. For the different experimental conditions, the reaction rate constants and equilibrium constant have been determined with this kinetic model.
