ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the physicochemical, mineralogical and adsorption characteristics of the Quartz Porphyry as adsorbent instead of activated carbon, which is known as a porous and radioactive material. The adsorption test was performed to compare the removal efficiency of the material with that of activated carbon on same condition. The adsorption and removal tests for the heavy metals were also performed. In addition, the removal efficiency test of granular activated carbon (GAC) was performed in comparison with the Quartz Porphyry. The major components of the Quartz Porphyry were quartz, orthoclase and plagioclase and the size of its surface area was found 1.8431 m2/g. The result of leaching test of the Quartz Porphyry shows that Ca, Mg, K and Na were extracted. The removal efficiency of heavy metals (Pb, Cu and Cd) was almost as same as that of GAC in single phase.
