The Use Of Activated Carbon For Removal Of Dyestuffs From Secondary Paper Mill Effluent, Duane L. Zomer Feb 1972

The Use Of Activated Carbon For Removal Of Dyestuffs From Secondary Paper Mill Effluent, Duane L. Zomer

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Adsorption of colored materials, dyestuff from simulated paper mill effluents by activated carbon columns appears to be a very effective method of removing color from waste effluents. Laboratory investigations have indicated that materials commonly encountered in paper mill effluents tend to slow the adsorption of color molecules. This phenomenon is overcome by allowing more time for adsorption. This lends itself to a diffusion-limited type adsorption mechanism with multi-layering adsorption on the carbon surface.

Using carbon of not less than 45 mesh, carbon adsorption columns appear to become feasible for large volume color removal. There appeared to be no significant head …
