For the treatment of dye wastewater, it is of great significance to develop new adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and good separation effect. In this study, the Fe-Co magnetic activated carbon material (CN-Fe-Co-AC) was first prepared by high-temperature calcination. CN-Fe-Co-AC is physically characterized by various methods. CN-Fe-Co-AC can efficiently and quickly remove the organic dyes methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 80 (AB80). The adsorption of MB and acid blue based on CN-Fe-Co-AC adsorbent is mainly through the specific surface area and the functional groups on the surface. During this recovery process, the adsorption activity of CN-Fe-Co-AC for MB and AB80 decreased slightly. Kinetic data can be described using a Pseudo-second-order model and the data for adsorption equilibrium can be described using the Langmuir isotherm. The theoretical adsorption capacities of MB and AB80 are 104.82[Formula: see text]mg/g and 26.94[Formula: see text]mg/g, respectively. After repeated use of five times, the removal rate of MB exceeded 96%, and the removal rate of AB80 exceeded 75%. The excellent adsorption performance and recyclability of CN-Fe-Co-AC indicate that this material has certain potential application value.

In this study, two types of adsorbent including activated carbon and bio-sorbent were produced from Palm fiber wastes (PFW), which were activated by phosphoric acid. The influence of adsorbent type and phosphoric acid concentration on methylene blue adsorption was investigated. The most optimum adsorbent was determined based on adsorption capacity and removal percentage of each adsorbent. The result shows that 9.984 mg/g of adsorption capacity and 99.84% of removal percentage were achieved in 90 minutes’ adsorption, which demonstrates the huge potential of bio-sorbent and was chosen to be the most optimum adsorbent based on methylene blue removal. The characterization of bio-sorbent was then investigated using FTIR and SEM. FTIR result shows that bio-sorbent contains cellulose which affected the adsorption process while SEM result shows the cleaner pores and surface compared to bio-sorbent before activation.

The present work was aimed at evaluating the performance of two-stage adsorber for methylene blue removal by coconut shell activated carbon in minimizing the adsorbent mass and contact time. The Langmuir constants were used to evaluate the optimum mass, while the pseudo-second-order constants for contact time. Results show that the adsorbent mass can only be minimized by 0.01 % due to the high adsorbent affinity towards methylene blue, while the contact time has been optimized to 12.2 min at the studied conditions. The effect of adsorbent affinity in two-stage adsorber was analyzed to shed some light about its importance in the design of two-stage adsorber. The performance evaluation was also discussed to bring insight into wastewater treatment applications.
