Chitosan obtained from shrimp shells and SiO2 nanoparticles obtained from rice husk ash were used to synthesize chitosan - SiO2 composite materials. In order to obtain a porous chitosan adsorbent, the SiO2 particles in the chitosan - SiO2 composite material were removed with NaOH solution. With the orientation of applying adsorbent in wastewater treatment of textile industry, the ability of methylene blue adsorption of chitosan with porous structure has been investigated. Survey results show that chitosan has porous structure with good adsorption capacity of methylene blue. The adsorption capacity of materials depends on many factors such as: structure of particles; pH of adsorption medium and temperature. Adsorbent material is made of composite chitosan - SiO2 with the ratio of chitosan/SiO2 equal to 1/1 (w/w) with the best adsorption capacity. Materials with good adsorption capacity at pH = 6, at low pH, the adsorption capacity of the material is significantly reduced. Temperature has a great influence on the adsorption capacity of the material. The suitable temperature for adsorption of materials is 40 oC. With a higher temperature, the desorption process will be accelerated. This makes the adsorption capacity of the material decrease. The maximum methylene blue adsorption capacity of the material is determined about 7.25 mg/g after 40 minutes of adsorption time.

Magnetic nanoparticles are amongst the most promising adsorption materials for oil spill clean-up due to their high surface area, ease of functionalization with high oil affinity and facile separation after the cleaning process with an external magnetic field. In this work, we successfully synthesized magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4 NPs) that were electrostatically stabilized and functionalized with various alkoxysilanes for effective oil adsorption and oil spill removal. Additionally, the adsorption capacity of CoFe2O4 NPs was determined, and the possibility of their reuse assessed. Prepared samples showed high oil adsorption capacities between 2.6 and 3.5 g of oil per g of nanoparticles and were successfully collected with an external magnet. Furthermore, the samples showed excellent properties after regeneration, as their adsorption capacity decreased by less than 3% after reuse. All the prepared samples were thoroughly characterized to better understand their behaviour and the differences in the use of various silanes were highlighted.

AbstractPolypropylene oil-absorption fibre (PP-g-BA) was prepared by radiationinduced graft polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) onto polypropylene (PP) using divinylbenzene (DVB) as cross-linking agent. The original and grafted PP fibres were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and the result indicated that butyl acrylate was successfully grafted onto PP fibre. The factors that influenced the grafting degree of PP were discussed, such as the concentration of monomer and crosslinking agent. When the concentration of DVB was 2% and the concentration of BA was 10%, the maximum grafting degree reached 20.53%. The oil absorption properties of PP and PP-g-BA fibre were investigated and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of PP-g-BA reached 19.74 g/g for toluene and 18.8 g/g for kerosene. Simulating absorption in the oil floating on the surface of water showed that the oil could be absorbed quickly and completely in three minutes. PP-g-BA exhibited quicker adsorption rate and higher adsorption capacity than PP fibre did.

In this study we evaluated the oil adsorption capacity of an aliphatic polyurethane foam (PU 1) and two of its composites, produced through surface coating using microparticles of silica (PU-Si 2) and activated carbon (PU-ac 3). The oil adsorption capacity in diesel was improved up to 36% using the composite with silica and up to 50% using the composite with activated carbon with respect to the initial PU 1. Excellent performances were retained in gasoline and motor oil. The adsorption was complete after a few seconds. The process follows a monolayer adsorption fitted by the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 29.50 g/g of diesel for the composite with activated carbon (PU-ac 3). These materials were proved to be highly oleophilic for oil removal from fresh water and sea water samples. Regeneration and reuse can be repeated up to 50 times by centrifugation, without a significant loss in adsorption capacity.

Abstract To develop low-cost adsorbents for aqueous nitrate, biochars were prepared from three types of agricultural residuals at different pyrolysis temperatures (300 °C, 450 °C, and 600 °C). The corncob biochar produced at 600 °C (CC600) was the best nitrate adsorbent of all the tested biochars. Characterization results showed that CC600 had good thermal stability, porous structure, and abundant surface functional groups. Findings from batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that CC600 showed relatively fast adsorption kinetics to nitrate in aqueous solutions. In addition, the Langmuir adsorption capacity of CC600 to nitrate was 14.46 mg/g, comparable to that of other biochar-based adsorbents. Therefore, CC600 showed promising potential to be used as a low-cost adsorbent for the treatment of nitrate in water.

AbstractAdult male German cockroaches were exposed to deposits of amorphous precipitated and pyrogenic silicas in continuous and discontinuous contact bioassays. LC50S of precipitated silicas in the former case generally increased with oil adsorption capacity of the dusts; variability in response in discontinuous contact bioassays was apparently due to grooming of appendages following pick-up of dust aggregates. The toxicity of silica deposits in half-treated choice boxes varied with relative humidity and was effectively eliminated at 95% r.h. or when free water was provided. Cockroaches accumulated in the untreated side of the box irrespective of r.h.; the mechanism of this effect is discussed.
