Effect of Temperature on Particle Size Mixed Ratio on Petroleum Hydrocarbon Treatment in Packed Bed Unit using Adsorbent
Abstract
The significance of temperature on the potential characteristics of the adsorbent performance in treatment of polluted water medium was monitored by using both room and sun dried bioadsorbent. The research furthermore showcases the effect of particle size of the bioadsorbent in the treatment process and obtained result revealed that the particle size is a contributing factor to the efficiency and the potential in which the rate of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration decreases as well as in conjunction wit temperature variation. All the bioadsorbents shows optimum reduction in TPH concentration in the packed bed unit temperature of 45°C as well as with respect to different particle sizes of 50 μm, 150 μm, and 200 μm. The research further illustrate that the room dried obtained bioadsorbent was more effective in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon removal than the sun-dried sample for all the agro-based bio adsorbents used for this investigation. The effect of temperature on the pollutant was monitored which serves as the control and slight decrease in the concentration of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) was experienced and the process was more of thermal degradation of TPH. The comparison of the TPH reduction with the aid of adsorbent placed in a packed bed unit connected in series of units 1, 2 and 3 has revealed the significance of adsorption process in treatment of contaminated water. The plantain stem fiber, palm fruit fiber, banana stem fiber, and their capacity for TPG adsorption are the bioadsorbents used. Their investigation has shown the significance of temperature and particle size mixed ratio in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon treatment in packed bed unit connected in series.References
