Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional plating effluent monitoring is labor-intensive, requiring frequent sampling and multi-element analysis.
  • Developing rapid and cost-effective methods is crucial for effective environmental management of industrial wastewater.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel, rapid approach for long-term plating effluent quality monitoring.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of low-cost sorbents for metal pre-concentration prior to analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized low-cost sorbents (chitosan, zeolite, granular activated carbon) for plating effluent sampling.
  • Employed multi-element X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for elemental analysis of sorbent materials.
  • Conducted Freundlich isotherm experiments to model metal sorption behavior.

Main Results:

  • Chitosan demonstrated suitability for estimating zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and chromium (Cr) concentrations.
  • Granular activated carbon proved effective for copper (Cu) concentration monitoring.
  • Investigated metal accumulation on sorbents over 1-3 day sorption periods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed sorbent-based XRF approach offers an effective and rapid alternative for plating effluent monitoring.
  • Specific sorbents can be reliably used to estimate key metal concentrations, streamlining quality control.
