Studying Remove Sulfate Ions and Iron from the Water by Using Activated Carbon Record of Sewage Sludge

Abstract

The research aims to provide a practical study on converting sewage sludge in the province of Hasaka and the resulting exchange station in Ras Al Ain to useful product, where there is great potential in theory to convert the sludge as a carbon-rich material to the effective adsorbent material such as carbon. I studied coking process and chemical activation using zinc chloride and phosphorous acid at concentrations (3, 6) mol /L and at temperatures carbonization (450,700) ^Oc.Then activated carbon characterization and by identifying specific surface and pore size in a manner BET. The use of activated carbonin the record to remove sulfate and ions iron.The results were promising and close to the results of the scientific research which opens the horizon and wide to use this method to get rid of large quantities of sludge.
