Effects of salts on activated carbon adsorption of fulvic acids
Calcium, magnesium, and sodium significantly influenced the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon for fulvic acids from three sources, including a natural groundwater supply. Adsorptive capacity was evaluated as a function of salt type, salt concentration, and pH and was most sensitive to changes in low concentrations of salt. Chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate, and phosphate exhibited no observable effect on the adsorption of fulvic acid. Calcium significantly influenced the adsorption of peat fulvic acid by an activated carbon column, the addition of calcium greatly enhanced adsorption, and the withdrawal of calcium from a loaded column resulted in substantial desorption. Salts enhanced the adsorption of dihydroxybenzoic acid but had variable effects on the adsorption of EDTA, citric acid, and aspartic acid.
