| Summary: | Centrifugal Elutriation, a counter-flow separation method commonly used in the medical field to fractionate cells, was applied in the dynamic sorption and desorption studies for pentachlorophenol (PCP) associated with biotic (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) and abiotic (microporous silica gel) aqueous suspensions. Using Centrifugal Elutriation, a suspension of PCP laiden particles, C. pyrenoidosa and silica was held in the chamber while "clean" aqueous media was passed through allowing time dependent determination of contaminant release. The algal suspension was found to release 57.6% of the PCP within 15 minutes while silica released 72.4% within 15 minutes. A model has been developed to describe the partitioning processes under dynamic conditions. |
