| Abstract | This study proposed the use of activated carbon and fly ash/activated carbon composite for the removal of triphenyltin chloride (TPT) from simulated contaminated marine water. The effect of adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, stirring speed, and temperature on the adsorption of TPT onto activated carbon and fly ash/activated carbon composite were studied and discussed. Four kinetic models, the pseudo firstand second-order equations, the Elovich equation, and the fractional power equation, were selected to follow the adsorption process. The adsorption equilibrium was analysed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. It was found that the kinetic data for the adsorption process obeyed a pseudo second-order kinetic model while equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich and D-R models. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of TPT onto these adsorbents is endothermic. The adsorbents investigated presented good potential for the removal of TPT from TPT contaminated marine wastewater. |
