Abstract
Adsorption Kinetics of Edamame Soybean Peel Activated Carbon in Reducing the Level of Phosphate
Highlights
Phosphate is an important nutrient for organism growth, but causes water environmental problems in high concentrations
The results showed that edamame soybean peel activated carbon in the adsorption of phosphate followed a pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics model (Figure 4c)
The pseudo-second-order kinetic model defined that the adsorption speed depended on the adsorption capacity of each solid phase by the adsorbent
Summary
Phosphate is an important nutrient for organism growth, but causes water environmental problems in high concentrations. Excess phosphate concentrations in the environment can be harmful to organisms It may cause kidney damage and osteoporosis (Isiuku and Enyoh 2020). The eutrophic condition probably makes the algae populations increase abnormally. Those algae deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water and seriously threaten the water quality and the aquatic ecological environment (Yuliani et al, 2015). Such condition leads to the death of aquatic life, odor and increase in the pathogenic organisms
