Abstract
- Natural laterite can be regarded as a strong adsorbent due to its special structure and composition. In this study, the laterite was modified by manganese oxide (MnO2) to create a new good adsorbent for treating phosphate and fluoride in water environment. Under the optimized conditions of the adsorbent dose (pH 6, temperature 20°C, and the contact time 180 min), laterite, doped manganese, with diameter of grains from 0.1 to 0.5 mm has maximum adsorption capacity of 31.25 mg/g and 10.99 mg/g for phosphate and fluoride, respectively. The characteristics of the manganese doping laterite were confirmed using various techniques like SEM, BET, XRD, EDX. The adsorption process of the material was investigated by both kinetic models (pseudo-first and second orders) and isotherm models (Freundlich and Langmuir). This new material was tested for treatment of wastewater taken from the superphosphate fertilizer factory, with the results obtained showing high potential for application in reality.
