Abstract

A fixed-bed adsorption study was carried out by using a strong base anion-exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-400) for the removal of fumaric acid from aqueous solutions. The breakthrough curves were obtained as a function of flow rate, temperature, feed pH, and inlet fumaric acid concentration. The total adsorption capacity and the percent fumaric acid removal of the resin were calculated. The Yoon-Nelson model was applied to the experimental data to predict the breakthrough curves and to determine the characteristic column parameters required for process design. The breakthrough curves fit the model predictions well. 2009
