Abstract
Perchlorate (ClO4-) is a stable monovalent ion with a tetrahedral structure that is difficult to remove from the environment. In this study, granular activated carbon (GAC) was modified with FeCl3 and the quaternary ammonium salt dodecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) for the removal of perchlorate from water. The optimal reagent loading was found to be 2.5 g of GAC modified with 5 g of FeCl3 and 2.5 mmol/L of DDAC, generating Fe(5)-DDAC-GAC with a perchlorate adsorption of 31.59 mg/g and removal rate of 62.62 %. The adsorption of ClO4- by modified activated carbon is more in line with the quasi-primary kinetic model and the Langer-Muir isotherm model. Fe(5)-DDAC-GAC showed good adsorption of perchlorate under weak-acidic to neutral conditions, with optimal adsorption at pH 4 (33.93 mg/g and a removal rate of 67.25 %). The effect of interfering ions on the adsorption of ClO4- decreased in the order CO32- > SO42- > BrO3- > PO43-. The saturated Fe(5)-DDAC-GAC could be regenerated by NaCl or ultrasonication, with NaCl regeneration being more efficient (66.6 % (NaCl) vs. 55.5 % (ultrasonication) of the initial adsorption capacity).
