Abstract

In this study, sorption potential of anion exchange resin (Lewatit Monoplus M600) to remove sulphate from real wastewater was investigated. Kinetic studies were performed in batch experiments. A comparison of kinetic models applied to the sorption of sulphate onto resin was evaluated for the "infinite solution volume model" and "unreacted core model". Rate-determining step is the liquid film control step of the unreacted core model. When pH values increased above 9, more than 80% sulphate removal was observed. Column sorption-elution experiments were performed for the removal of the sulphate from the wastewater by resin. The Thomas and the Yoon-Nelson models were applied to experimental data to determine the characteristic column parameters.
