Activated carbon was produced from Sapindusfruitresidue and wasused for the adsorption of methylene blue dye from simulated aqueous solution. Adsorption kinetics of methylene blue onto actived carbonwerestudied in a batch system. The effects of pH and contact time were examined. The goal of the present study was the determination of the optimal experimental conditions. The maximum adsorption of methylene blue occurredat pH 6.0(4.83 mg/g) and the lowest adsorption occurred at pH 2.0(4.35 mg/g).120 min was the time needed for apparent equilibrium.Adsorption modelling was determined by using theFreundlich and Langmuir isotherms.Data were interpreted based on R2and various error distribution functions. Adsorption isotherm was best described bynon linear Freundlichisotherm model. In order to determine the best-fit-adsorption kinetics, the experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, pseudo-third-order, Esquivel, and Elovichmodels. The needed relative parameters were determined bylinear and non-linear regressive methods. The statistical functions were estimated to find the suitable method which fit the experimental data. Both methods were suitable to obtain the required parameters. The model that best fit the present equilibrium data was the linear Elovichmodel (type 1 and 2). The present work showed that activated carbon can be used as a low cost adsorbent for the methylene blue removal from aqueous solutions.

Methylene blue (MB) is one of the commonly used dyes in the textile industry and can be used as a model pollutant for the textile industry wastewater. In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of MB by synthesized nanoparticles of lanthanum vanadate (LaVO4) was assessed. The effects of pH, initial MB concentration and catalyst dose on the removal performance of MB were investigated and measuring the optimum values of these operational conditions was performed using response surface methodology (RSM). Catalyst dose of 0.43 g/L, initial MB concentration of 5.0 mg/L, and pH of 6.86 were found to be the optimum conditions in reaction time of 60 min. A mathematical model was formed to relate the removal efficiency of MB to the aforementioned operating parameters. The removal efficiency of MB was 91% without any scavengers at a catalyst dose of 0.3 g/L, pH of 7 and initial MB concentration of 10 mg/L. The trapping experiments confirmed the participation of different reactive species in the photo-degradation process. The degradation rates of MB were 91%, 86%, 81%, 77.70% and 72% in five successive runs using LaVO4.

In this work, an electrochemically assisted coagulation for the removal of chromium from water has been studied using zinc as anode and galvanized iron as cathode. The effects of pH, current density, concentration of chromium, temperature, adsorption kinetics and isotherms on the removal of chromium were investigated. The results showed that the optimum removal efficiency of 96.5% was achieved at a current density of 0.2 A/dm2, at a pH of 7.0. First- and second-order rate equations, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models were applied to study adsorption kinetics. The adsorption process follows second-order kinetics model with good correlation. An equilibrium isotherm was measured experimentally and the results were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Redushkevich model using linearized correlation co-efficient. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to fit the equilibrium data for chromium adsorption. Temperature studies showed that the adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous in nature.

Modified bentonite was used as adsorbent for the methylene blue adsorption in a batch process. Experimental results show that the adsorption kinetics is well described by pseudo-second-order model and the equilibrium data was better represented by the Freundlich isotherm model. The results revealed that the modified bentonite has the potential to be used as a good adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.
