Waste PET bottle-derived carbon for defluorination of fluoride-polluted water

This study synthesises expanded graphite (EG) from graphitised carbon from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The adsorbent material was characterised using FTIR, XRF, XRD, SEM, Raman Spectroscopy, and BET surface area analysis. The synthesised EG defluorinated wastewater, utilising res...

520 |a This study synthesises expanded graphite (EG) from graphitised carbon from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The adsorbent material was characterised using FTIR, XRF, XRD, SEM, Raman Spectroscopy, and BET surface area analysis. The synthesised EG defluorinated wastewater, utilising response surface methodology (RSM) for experimental design and optimisation. XRD patterns confirmed the successful synthesis of graphite and EG, demonstrating structural modifications. Raman spectra indicated higher crystalline order in EG, with D and G band shifts and an increased ID/IG intensity ratio from 0.89-1.04. BET analysis revealed a specific surface area of 247.1 m²/g. . FTIR analysis showed abundant functional groups, particularly hydroxyl (-OH) and alkene (C = C). Batch adsorption experiments revealed that fluoride adsorption onto EG depended on pH, time, and initial fluoride concentration. Optimal conditions for fluoride removal, determined using RSM with central composite design (CCD), demonstrated a maximum fluoride removal rate of 97%. Isotherm data fitted both Langmuir and Freundlich model, and kinetics data aligned well with the pseudo-first-order model. ANOVA showed significant effects of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, and initial fluoride concentration on removal efficiency. The model's R² value of 0.98 and lack of fit value of 0.1554 confirmed the quality of the second-order polynomial model. Optimal conditions for maximum fluoride removal efficiency of 97% were validated at 5 mg/L fluoride concentration, pH 4, adsorbent dose of 5 g/L, and a contact time of 30 min. Therefore, the present study demonstrated efficient fluoride-polluted water treatment using waste-derived EG
