چکیده

حفظ منابع آبی و حفاظت آنها از آلودگی از درجه اهمیت زیادی در چرخه طبیعی زندگی ما برخوردار است، نیترات به عنوان یکی از مهم ترین منابع آلودگی آب، تهدیدی جدی برای اکوسیستم های آبی محسوب می شود و با توجه به حلالیت بسیار بالای آن، خارج کردن آن از آب فرآیندی بسیار پرهزینه محسوب می شود، ارائه یک روش مطمئن که ضمن رفع آلودگی کم هزینه، سریع وآثار جنبی نامطلوب برای سلامت محیط نداشته باشد بسیار ضروری است، هدف از این مطالعه تعیین توان و ظرفیت پالایندگی سنبل آبی جهت حذف نیترات از محیط آبی می باشد عواملی مانند غلظت اولیه نیترات، زمان تماس، جرم جاذب، pH، و حضور سایر یونهای رقابتی از جمله سولفات روی جذب نیترات، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که بهترین راندمان حذف نیترات بیشتر از %99 در شرایط اپتیمم (زمان ماند30ساعت، دوز جاذب سه بوته (15 ساقه) و (4/6 = pH) اتفاق افتاد. ضمناً راندمان حذف نیترات در حضور یونهای سولفات کاهش نمی یابد.، با افزایش غلظت اولیه از30 به 150 میلی گرم در لیتر نیترات راندمان حذف تغییری محسوسی نمی کند و با افزایش جرم جاذب راندمان حذف از %96/67 به%100 افزایش یافت و زمان ماند کمتری جهت تعادل بدست می آید فرآیند جذب نیترات از ایزوترم لانگمویر (1=R2) تبعیت می نماند در نهایت می توان نتیجه گرفت که سنبل آبی یک گیاه امیدوارکننده با عملکردهای عظیم به عنوان یک پالایشگر می تواند در راه رفع مشکلات زیست محیطی کمک موثری باشد.

چکیده [English]

Water resources conservation and protect them from the pollution, has a high importance in natural cycle of our life. Nitrate, as one of the important resources of water pollution, is a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems, and due to its high solubility, extraction of it from the water is a costly process. Providing a reliable, low cost and fast method is necessary to eliminate pollution. The study has tried to determine the refining potential and capacity of Eichhornia crassipes in order to remove nitrate from the water. Factors such as initial concentration of nitrate, contact time, absorbent mass, pH and the presence of other competing ions such as sulfate on nitrate absorption have been studied. The results showed that the best efficiency of nitrate removal, more than 99%, in the optimum condition (the retention time of 30 hours, absorbent dose 3 plants (15 stem) and pH=6.4) was occurred. In addition, the efficiency of nitrate removal by the presence of sulfate ions does not reduced. By increasing the initial nitrate concentration, from 30 to 150 mg/L, there is no any significant change in removal efficiency. Actually, by increasing absorbent mass, removal time was increased from 67.96% to 100%. The process of nitrate absorption followed by Langmuir isotherm (R2=1). However, the results showed that Eichhornia crassipes, a promising plant with great functionally, can be used as a refiner for removing nitrate as simple, efficient and low cost method.
