Abstract
In this research, adsorption of Nitrate (N-Adsorpti on) on Red soil has been studied through using batc h adsorption techniques. Main objectives of this study are, to study the physical properties of Red soil, detection of Nitrate remov al by adsorbent as a function of contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH, to study sor ption kinetics. The results of this study showed th at the Optimum contact time, dosage and pH for adsorption of Nitrate on Red soil reached to equilibrium after 130mins, with removal efficiency of (86%), 1400mg as optimum dosages. Higher adsorption of Nitrate wa s observed at higher pH, obtained at pH 6.0, the ra te of adsorption of Nitrate obeys first order rate equation. The obtained resul ts of the batch experiments are best fit to Langmui r and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. From the experimental analysis it is con cluded that Red soil shows good removal efficiency and hence can be used as adsorbents.
