Résumé

Les composés organiques récalcitrants et toxiques présents dans les eaux usées industrielles ont causé de graves problèmes de santé publique et d'environnement lorsqu'ils ont été libérés dans la nature. Le phénol et ses dérivés sont des polluants organiques présents dans les eaux usées industrielles. Le charbon actif produit à partir de la biomasse végétale est un bon moyen de récupérer les déchets, compte tenu de ses applications. Ce travail se concentre sur le développement du charbon actif à partir de noix de dattes par activation chimique avec de l'acide orthophosphorique, et son application pour éliminer le pentachlorophénol (PCP) en solution. La caractérisation du charbon actif de noix de dattes (DAC) a consisté à déterminer les indices d'iode et de bleu de méthylène, les fonctions de surface et le pH au point de charge zéro (pHPCN) en le comparant à un échantillon de charbon actif disponible dans le commerce (CAC). L'évaluation de l'efficacité du charbon actif de date a été réalisée dans une colonne remplie d'eaux usées secondaires (SWW) et complétée par du PCP (100 mg/l). Les meilleures valeurs d'iode étaient de 368,03 et 444,17 et les valeurs de bleu de méthylène étaient de 619,9 et 620,25 mg/g pour le DAC et le CAC respectivement. Les fonctions à la surface des charbons actifs sont acides et leur pHPCN est inférieur à 10. L'étude de remédiation du polluant PCP dans les eaux usées a montré un pourcentage d'élimination de 78% pendant 72 heures. Le processus d'élimination du PCP proposé pourrait constituer une alternative prometteuse pour la réutilisation des sources d'eau non conventionnelles.
