The single blending of biomass and S-TiO2 and the mixed modification of coal char were obtained by the method of coking with coal pyrolysis furnace. The adsorption performance of biomass and S-TiO2 was investigated by the adsorption experiment of phenol solution. The results show that under the optimal conditions the best performance of MCC-2 can achieve 94% removal efficiency of phenol. The adsorption efficiency is 20% higher than that reported in the literature, and the adsorption equilibrium time is several times shorter than that reported in the literature. The modified coal char has broad prospects as a substitute for activated carbon in practical application.

Chitosan/CNT nanocomposites were prepared by blending chitosan with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and forming composite beads. The composites were used as Ag+adsorbents. Adsorption equilibrium experiments were carried out as a function of contact time, CNTs concentration, pH value, and adsorbent dosage level. The equilibrium time of Ag+adsorption was found to be 160 min. Composite adsorbent had the highest adsorption efficiency when the weight of CNTs was 0.01 wt%. The maximum Ag+removal took place at the initial pH value of 3. The optimum adsorbent dosage for Ag+removal was 5 g. Under above optimal conditions the maximum Ag+removal was 99.7%. The adsorption isotherm of chitosan/CNT nanocomposite bead agreed well with the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 0.393 mg/g.

A hybrid process combining adsorption and ozonation was examined as an alternative treatment for odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was chosen to study the influence of operating parameters. Two synthetic aluminosilicates (faujasite-Y and ZSM-5) were tested for adsorption and reactivity with ozone. The adsorption equilibrium measurement on both adsorbents showed that adsorption performance depends on temperature but is not sensitive to relative humidity, due to the hydrophobic properties of the materials. Adsorbed VOCs were oxidized at low temperature when ozonated flow was sent to the reactor. Regeneration of the fixed bed was achieved at the same time, releasing mainly CO2 and H2O. Intermediates of oxidation, such as 2,3-butanedione and acetic acid, were identified, leading to incomplete mineralization. The influence of concentration and humidity are discussed. Four successive cycles were tested: after the first adsorption/ozonation cycle, the adsorption efficiency was not affected during subsequent cycles. These results show that the same sample of adsorbent can be used in the treatment process for a long time. Ozonation regeneration is a promising process for VOC removal.

This study explored the regenerated performance of activated carbon (AC) as SO2 adsorbent. The optimal conditions of SO2 removal were determined by experiment, and then the adsorption efficiency of AC was studied by a method of thermal regeneration. The characteristics of regenerated AC were analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods. The test results showed that the most suitable adsorption conditions were using 4 g of activated carbon, 1.65 L/min gas flue rate, and 5% O2. During the ten regenerations, the desulfurization efficiency and sulfur capacity of AC still maintained a high level. The characterization results showed that the increase of material surface area and pore volume were 101 m2 g−1, and 0.13 cm3 g−1, respectively, after the cycles.

Plantation willows are commonly grown plants which are widely used for energetic purposes that does not correspond completely to its potential. To fully integrate this resource into biorefinery scheme, it is necessary to study optimal conditions of willow bark processing, aimed for separation of bark components, their comprehensive characterization and profitable practical application. Extraction of secondary metabolites is well known approach for bark processing. But the separation of the main cell wall components including lignin from the residual biomass is less studied. In this work plantation residual willow bark after extractives separation by two different solvents (acetone and ethanolwater) was used as a feedstock for Organosolv delignification. Effect of temperature and catalyst used on the yield and properties of lignin isolated from residual bark by ethanol-water treatment was studied. It was possible to obtain pure lignin with high yields (up to 41%) that has the potential to be used for bio-plastic producing. Insoluble residue after delignification was carbohydrate rich (up to 80%) feedstock allowing its practical use for bioethanol producing.

It has been proven that the use of coal-like adsorbents with the mosaic and hydrophobic surface structure is efficient in cleaning thewastewater from a wide range of pollutants under the condition of their uncontrolled release from various small enterprises. Thisrange includes such environmentally dangerous agents as petrochemicals and other pollutants formed at car filling, carwash stationsor other similar facilities. Technical pyrocarbon and the coal refinery sludges are readily available waste materials with high porosity,which exhibit some adsorption activity and can be utilized in water/wastewater treatment solutions. Then the adsorbents can be eitherdisposed of at the landfill areas or incinerated as components of some secondary fuels. The highest adsorption performance is achievedfor the sorbent mixture of the refinery sludges and technical pyrocarbon with the ratio of the components 4:1.If the wastewater is flowing through this composition, the degree of petrochemicals removal reaches 75-80% for the mixture sludge/technical pyrocarbon, while the pure pyrocarbon ensures the removal degree of 15-20% only. Though adsorption efficiency under stationary conditions (keeping the adsorbent and the wastewater in contact inside some decontamination pond/vessel for at least 24 h) ishigher, this option is hard-to-realize for a small car service/wash station. As an alternative, comparatively small wastewater cleaningcartridges filled with the 4:1 mixture of coal sludge and technical pyrocarbon can be recommended for preliminary decontaminationof the wastewater formed at such enterprises before their discharge to the local municipal sewerage lines.

This study developed an efficient method to simultaneously separate and purify syringoside and oleuropein from Syringa oblata Lindl. extract using macroporous resins. The adsorption and desorption property of 11 resins were systematically evaluated. Based on the adsorption performance, HPD-100B resin was selected for the separation of syringoside and oleuropein. The HPD-100B resin fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 > 0.97), as ascertained by the results of the static adsorption experiment. Kinetic and dynamic adsorption/desorption experiments were conducted using the HPD-100B resin to optimize the separation parameters of syringoside and oleuropein. On the optimal parameters, syringoside and oleuropein were obtained from the 20% and 40% ethanol eluates, respectively. In addition, the adsorption effluent (15–60 BV) contained a large amount of syringoside with less impurities; therefore, this part was also collected for further syringoside separation and enrichment of syringoside. By only one cycle treatment, the syringoside and oleuropein contents in the final products increased by 7.1-fold and 8.2-fold, respectively, compared to the initial extract. The method developed in this study provides a potential basis for the industrial-scale enrichment and separation of syringoside and oleuropein from S. oblata extract.

The adsorption behavior of methyl orange aqueous solution was investigated on husk-based activated carbon. The effects of key factors, i.e., degassing pretreatment, adsorption time, temperature, adsorbent dosage and initial concentration, on the adsorption efficiency were measured. The kinetic adsorption curves and adsorption isotherms were fitted with theoretical model. The results show that the removal efficiency of methyl orange could be significantly improved by degassing pretreatment, prolonging the time, lowering temperature or reducing the initial concentration. In the context, adsorption equilibrium will be achieved up 90min. Furthermore, adsorption rate will be enhanced by the increase of the amount of activated carbon. In conclusion, adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics can be fitted well with Freundlich equation and pseudo-first Lagergren model, respectively.

<p>In this paper, six typical adsorption materials (activated carbon, kaolin, montmorillonite, bentonite, zeolite, and attapulgite) were used to investigate the effects of adsorption time, initial concentration, pH, and temperature on the adsorption of cesium (Cs) contained in wastewater. A combination of kinetics and isotherms was used. The results revealed that, for the same adsorption time, the adsorption efficiencies of the six materials for Cs were as follows: zeolite>attapulgite>bentonite>montmorillonite>activated carbon>kaolin. The adsorption rate of zeolite to Cs ions was almost independent of the initial concentration and temperature. The removal effect of other materials improved in alkaline environments at 30℃. Attapulgite, montmorillonite, activated carbon, and kaolin could be used for the removal of Cs at low initial concentrations. The adsorptive processes utilized by the six adsorption materials were the result of a combination of various adsorption mechanisms. Among the six typical adsorption materials, zeolite, attapulgite, and bentonite had clear removal effects and could be used in practical application in which radioactive wastewater containing Cs needs to be disposed of. Our results suggest that zeolite is the best adsorption material for this purpose.</p>

Coffee silverskin (CS), the main solid waste produced from the coffee industry, has efficiently been used as adsorbent material to remove potential toxic metals (PTMs). In order to assess its suitability in water remediation, kinetic adsorption experiments of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+ ions from wastewater were carried out and the adsorption performance of the waste material was compared with that of another well-known waste from coffee industry, spent coffee grounds (SCG). By using CS as sorbent material, ion removal follows the order Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+ with the adsorption equilibrium occurring after about 20 min. The adsorption efficiency of Ni2+ ions is the same for both investigated materials, while Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions are removed to a lesser extent by using CS. Equilibrium-adsorption data were analyzed using two different isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich), demonstrating that monolayer-type adsorption occurs on both CS and SCG surfaces. The overall results support the use of coffee silverskin as a new inexpensive adsorbent material for PTMs from wastewater.
