Most of the commercial adsorptive separation is carried out in fixed bed mode. A clear and steady feed is required for efficient operation of fixed beds. If the feed carries insoluble matter, it gets trapped in the voids and enhances the pressure drop across the bed. So, a solid-liquid stable fluidized bed termed as expanded bed is getting wide applications in the realm of adsorptive separations. Expanded bed operation is based on controlled stable fluidization, which combines the hydrodynamic properties of fluidized bed along with the plug flow behavior of the packed bed. A comparative performance of packed and expanded beds is studied here for adsorptive separation of copper from waste-water. Impact of operating velocity on column performance is studied in the present work. The results show the proper choice of adsorbent and operating conditions can allow for carrying out adsorptive separations in the expanded bed mode for wastewater treatment with minimum impact on bed efficiency.
