THE ADSORPTION BEHAVIORS OF 2,6-DICHLOROPHENOL ONTO HYPERCROSSLINKED RESINS

Experimental investigations were conducted on the adsorption characteristics of 2,6-dichlorophenol by two hypercrosslinked resins ZH-01 and XAD-4. The static adsorption was studied. Within temperature range of 288K~313K, the equilibrium adsorption date was fitted to freundlich adsorption isotherm models to evaluate the model parameters. The enthalpies, free energy, entropy were indicative of an exothermic, a spontaneous and disorder decreasing process. The magnitudes for 2,6-dichlorophenol on ZH-01 showed a chemisorption’s transitions while on XAD-4 shows a physical adsorption process. The results showed that the ZH-01 adsorbents were better than the Amberlite XAD-4 for removing the 2,6-dichlorophenol in aqueous solutions.
