Overview

Experimental study demonstrates heat-treated zeolite removes over 70% of pollutants from palm oil mill effluent, highlighting an inexpensive approach for wastewater remediation.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of thermally modified natural zeolite as an affordable adsorbent for the final polishing and treatment of palm oil mill effluent.
Effluent samples were collected from an aerobic pond at a palm oil mill in Terengganu, Malaysia, to establish baseline physicochemical properties.
Batch adsorption assays evaluated untreated versus thermally activated natural zeolite (heated at 150°C for two hours).
Adsorption parameters, including adsorbent dosage (up to 4 g/L), solution pH (optimized at pH 4), contact time (up to 240 minutes), and Langmuir isotherm models were evaluated.
Thermally treated zeolite achieved higher removal efficiencies and adsorption capacities than untreated zeolite for suspended solids (66.2%, 2.39 mg/g), color (80.5%, 21.50 mg/g), and turbidity (86.8%, 0.77 mg/g).
Optimal adsorption conditions of 4 g/L dosage and pH 4 yielded greater than 70% removal across all target water quality parameters at a peak contact time of 240 minutes.
The adsorption equilibrium data showed strong concordance with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model.
