Natural Organic Matter Removal by Adsorption onto Dual Nanofiber: Effect of Temperature
Muhammad Ali Zulfikar and Muhammad Nasir

Abstract: The removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) using dual nanofiber under the influence of temperature has been investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out using NOM as an adsorbate from Rimbo Panjang, Kampar, Riau Province, Indonesia. It was observed that the amount of NOM removed increase with increasing temperature. The adsorption kinetic data of CR on powdered eggshell was well described by a pseudo-second-order model with the kinetic constants in the range of 0.086-0.265 g/mg/min. Thermodynamic parameters data indicated that the NOM removal was non-spontaneous and endothermic under the experimental conditions with the enthalpy ()H) and entropy ()S) of +27.44 kJ/mol and +71.56 J/mol, respectively whereas activation energy is 14.82 kJ/mol.
