Abstract
A DECOMPOSED PEAT AS ADSORBENT MATERIAL.This paper describes the adsorption of 17b-estradiol (E2) and 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2) from aqueous solution by decomposed peat.The peat presented a good adsorption process, close to 76.2% for E2 removal and approximately 55.0% for EE2.Moreover, the results indicated a probable multi-layered process.Adsorption isotherms were well fitted by Freundlich model.The data were evaluated considering the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order approaches, being the second more significant mechanism in the rate-controlling step.Thermodynamic data revealed that hormones adsorption onto peat is spontaneous under the employed experimental conditions.The results confirmed the potential of this adsorbent to be employed for effluents treatment.
