Abstract. Experiments have been conducted to examine the adsorption of phenol and dichlorophenols (2,5 DCP and 3,4 DCP) from water by a Porous Clay Heterostructure (PCH). Experiments were carried out for the analysis of adsorption equilibrium capacities using a batch equilibrium technique. The Freundlich adsorption model was best to describe adsorption equilibrium data for dichorophenols (r2 = 0.994 for 3,4 DCP and r2 = 0.993 for 2,5 DCP). In the case of the adsorption of phenol, the isotherm model of Langmuir was best to describe the experimental data (r2 = 0.9839) at high equilibrium concentrations (0-500 ppm), while at low equilibrium concentrations (0-20 ppm) the Freundlich model was best to describe the data (r2 =0.9831). This deviation implies that the adsorption sites are heterogeneous. The adsorption capacity showed by the PCH for both phenol and DCPs from water (48.7 mg/g for 3,4-DCP, 45.5 mg/g for 2,5- DCP and 14.5 mg/g for phenol), suggests that the PCH have both, hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics, due to the presence of silanol and siloxane groups formed during the pillaring and preparation of the PCH.
Resumen. Se llevaron a cabo experimentos para estudiar la capacidad de adsorción de una Arcilla Porosa de Estructura Heterogénea para fenol y diclorofenoles (2,5 DCF y 3,4 DCF) en medio acuoso. Los experimentos de adsorción se realizaron por medio de una técnica por lotes para la determinación de las concentraciones en el equilibrio del adsorbato en solución. Las isotermas de adsorción para los diclorofenoles se ajustaron al modelo de la isoterma de Freundlich, obteniéndose un coeficiente de determinación de r2 = 0.994 para el 3,4 DCF y r2 = 0.993 para el 2,5 DCF. Para el caso de la isoterma de adsorción de fenol, el modelo de adsorción de Langmuir fue el que mejor se ajustó (r2 = 0.9839) a concentraciones de equilibrio altas (0-500 ppm), sin embargo a concentraciones de equilibrio bajas (0-20 ppm), el modelo de Freundlich es el que mejor representa los datos (r2 = 0.9831) implicando que los sitios de adsorción son heterogeneos. La presencia de capacidad de adsorción de la PCH tanto para fenol como para DCFs (48.7 mg/g para el 3,4-DCP, 45.5 mg/g para el 2,5-DCP y 14.5 mg/g para el phenol), sugiere la presencia de grupos siloxano y silanol en la PCH, los cuales fueron desarrollados durante la preparación y calcinación de ésta, confiriéndole así un carácter tanto hidrofílico como hidrofóbico a la superficie del adsorbente.
