| Abstract | One of the major concerns arising from the adsorption of pollutant from wastewater is the simultaneous presence miscellaneous pollutants in wastewater. Therefore, adsorption study for removal of Triton x -100 (Tx-100) from aqueous solution on soils has been carried out under varying experimental conditions such as temperature, PH, initial concentration of Tx-100, concentration of interfering ions (Ca& Na) and concentration of other surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS) and their mixture. The spontaneity of adsorption is confirmed from the decrease in ∆G with increasing the temperature. The positive values of ∆H & ∆S indicate the endothermic nature of adsorption process. It was found that the adsorption decreases with PH from 5 – 9, and increases with further increase in PH (9 – 11). This means that the adsorption capacity of the studied soil samples is highly PH dependent. The experimental results showed that the adsorption of Tx-100 onto soil samples was severely restricted in the presence of a mixture of SDS and SDBS. |
