Abstract

This paper describes the batch test results for application of CFW(Carbonized Foods Waste), which was produced by the process of recycling waste, in PRB system. It analyzed characteristics for individual adsorption and competitive adsorption of Cu and Zn in heavy metals. In individual adsorption, the Langmuir and Freundlich models are used to predict adsorption equilibrium. The adsorption equilibrium corresponded to the Langmuir`s and the maximum adsorption amount of Cu was greater than Zn`s. The removal of heavy metal is predicted that Zn was faster than Cu. The reaction rate of Zn based on Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order was faster than Cu`s, and the result of competitive adsorption test confirmed that the adsorption amount of Zn is reduced under similar condition for competitive adsorption rate of Cu and Zn. When Zn solution is mixed in Cu, Cu is adsorbed 86% on CFW. However, the adsorption of Zn is 19% on the contrary condition. Therefore, the removal characteristics of separate heavy metal should be considered for efficient treatment of contaminated ground based on complex heavy metal.
