Defluoridation of water via Light Weight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA): Adsorbent characterization, competing ions, chemical regeneration, equilibrium and kinetic modeling

Résumé

Natural, H2O2 and MgCl2 - modified Light Weight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) were used as fluoride adsorbents. Characterization of LECA and its modified forms was done by infra-red, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and X-ray fluorescence studies. The specific surface area of HML and MGML was 3.34 and 3.97 times greater than that of NL (11.72 m2/g). Improved chemical composition of Magnesium (as oxide) to 15.6% by 2 M MgCl2 solution was ascertained through XRF results. The fluoride levels were reduced (within the safe limit of WHO: 0.5-1.5 mg/L−1) to 0.39 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L and 0.075 mg/L respectively using natural (NL), H2O2 (HML) and MgCl2 - modified LECA (MGML) at a pH of 6.0 and initial fluoride concentration of 10 g/L for an equilibrium time of 120 min. The sorption capacities of 8.53 mg/g, 17.83 mg/g and 23.86 mg/g were determined for NL, HML and MGML respectively. Validation of kinetic and isotherm models was checked for the present fluoride sorption dynamics. The thermodynamic data revealed that the present fluoride sorption was spontaneous, exothermic and ends up with decrease in randomness. Prediction of fluoride sorption mechanism for onto natural and modified LECA forms was also elucidated. Chloride and sulfate were the highly competing species against fluoride sorption. Regeneration efficiency of the spent LECA materials prompted the ability of MGML even after five cycles of adsorption-regeneration processes.
