Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of treating a liquid for removal of organic acid anions which comprises contacting a liquid containing organic acid anions with an adsorbent comprising calcium alginate-kaolinite or calcium alginate-quartz and a method of treating a liquid for removal of organic acid anions, heavy metal ions and thermally degraded organic products which comprises contacting a liquid containing organic acid anions, heavy metal ions and thermally degraded organic products with an adsorbent comprising calcium alginate-activated carbon are described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating a liquid for removal of organic acid anions which comprises contacting a liquid containing organic acid anions with an adsorbent comprising calcium alginate-kaolinite (CAK) or calcium alginate-quartz (CAQ). 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the adsorbent is prepared by a process comprising adding drop-wise a mixed solution of alginate and kaolinite or quartz to a calcium chloride solution, thereby cross linking alginate with calcium ions and to obtain polymeric hybrid gel beads of CAK or CAQ as adsorbent. 3. The method of claim 1 which comprises passing of said liquid containing organic acid anions through a column containing said adsorbent in gel form. 4. A method of treating a liquid for removal of organic acid anions, heavy metal ions and thermally degraded organic products which comprises contacting a liquid containing organic acid anions, heavy metal ions and thermally degraded organic products with an adsorbent comprising calcium alginate-activated carbon (CAC). 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the adsorbent is prepared by a process comprising adding drop-wise a mixed solution of alginate and activated carbon powder to calcium chloride solution to form a carbon impregnated CAC adsorbent. 6. The method of claim 4 which comprises passing of said liquid containing organic acid anions, heavy metal ions and thermally degraded organic products through a column containing said adsorbent in gel form. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein said absorbent comprises an alginate solution prepared using is-sodium alginate salt. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein said liquid is methyldiethanolamine.
