  Abstract

Recycling method of red mud, byproduct from the aluminium manufacturing process, and paper sludge was investigated in order for them to be utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of volatile organic components(VOCs). Either high density polyethylene(HDPE) or low density polyethylene(LDPE) was added to facilitate the manufacture of adsorbents. The utilization of HDPE in the adsorbents increased the adsorption capacity due to the good physical properties, such as, BET and true density, compared with LDPE. BET values of the manufactured adsorbents were much lower than the commercial activated carbon (10(-2)-10(-3)). It may be due to the fact that the time for decomposition of the paper sludge was not enough during the manufacturing of adsorbents. But the specific adsorption capacity of the manufactured adsorbents (mole adsorbed per unit surface area) had much higher value than the commercial activated carbon (10-100). Therefore, it is important that BET of manufactured adsorbents needs to be increased to obtain the same adsorption capacity as the commercial activated carbon.
