Abstract

Some of the physicochemical properties of contaminated water media with AGO and PMS was monitored upon the particle size effect and mix ratio. The physiochemical parameters monitored are potassium ammonia, iron and manganese concentration upon the performance of the formulated adsorbent immersed in the salt water and fresh water medium. The investigation demonstrates the occurrence of leaching in the process, which shows that some of the parameters adsorbed by the adsorbent returned back (reversible process occurred) into the contaminated system and this was attributed to saturation of that particular substance adsorbed as well as inability of the adsorbent to continuedly adsorbent more of the substance. The investigation revealed that the occurrence of the reversible process is within the adsorption time of 3 hours. The reversible process was experienced in most cases of the adsorbent after immense in the contaminated medium for the treatment of the AGO and PMS. The contaminants as labeled as AGO is diesel and the PMS is petrol motor spirit and it was observed that the rate of adsorption was dependent of its density and viscosity. This research is experimentally based research, in which the produced adsorbent performance was tested on the mitigation of some physicochemical parameters as presented in this study. The study also revealed that the water medium was contributing to the rate of substance removal or adsorbed by the adsorbent immersed in each contaminated batch unit.
