Özet

Chloride pollution that is becoming an important problematic issue for the environment is sourced mainly untreated industrial wastewater such as metal, mining, petrochemical, chemical pharmacy textile and paint industry. High chloride concentrations in effluents make negative effects such as corrosion in the transmission pipeline, salinization of surface water sources and inhibition of plant growth. In general, chemical precipitation, adsorption, oxidation and membrane separation methods are used for chloride removal from wastewater.

In this study, manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) were used for chloride adsorption from industrial wastewater which were collected from galvanotechnic industry. This NPs which is a novel nanosized adsorbent were synthesized by means of a simply microwave-induced combustion method to use in the chloride removal process as adsorbent. Experimental studies were conducted to determine the effects adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH on adsorption capacity under batch conditions in this study. Optimal conditions were determined on chloride adsorption capacity from wastewater in this study. Chloride adsorption capacity of MnFe2O4 NPs were calculated as 48.12 mg/g at the optimum conditions such as pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time that they were found as 3, 2 g/L and 120 min in this study, respectively. The results indicated that MnFe2O4 NPs are suitable adsorbents for removing chloride from industrial wastewater.
