Removal of 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic and chlorhydric acids from wastewater by weakly basic resin
This research deals with an investigation of the adsorption of two acids, namely, 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic and chlorhydric acids from their solution onto weakly basic resin. The screening of resins, kinetics, and isotherm were studied. The results indicate that the D301R is more appropriate for the removal of acids from solution. The adsorption of acids obeys Langmuir isotherm and the first-order kinetics model. Sorptive affinity of the two acids on D301R was found to be in the order of 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic acid> chlorhydric acid. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of acids were calculated and discussed. The maximum removal of acids was observed around 97% and 76% at 25 degrees C for 5-amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic acid and chlorhydric acid, respectively.
