Qualities of regenerated mixtures of adsorbents

Abstract

A proposal has been presented for the regeneration of a spent sorbent mixture, comprising activated carbon (BAU-A brand) and kieselguhr (Bekogur 200 brand), in a mass ratio of 1:3. The effectiveness of the regeneration process and the potential applications of the spent sorbents were determined through X-ray phase analysis methods. The study included an investigation into the adsorption of the primary dye (methylene blue) by activated carbon and various sorbent mixtures. The observed efficiency of regeneration supports the recommendation of using a combination of kieselguhr and activated carbon sorbents for treating wastewater in food industry enterprises.
