In this study, a granular adsorbent was prepared from phoenix tree leaf powder with bentonite as the binder. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of Pb2+ removal by the 500 °C-calcined granular adsorbent were studied by various models.

In this work, biosorption process was commited for expulsion of metals using Gulmohar tree leaf powder since Gulmohar tree leaf powder (GTLP) is a efficient biosorbent for treating Cr(VI) ions. The optimum values observed for efficient removal of Cr(VI) ions were pH-2, concentration for Cr(VI) biosorption by GTLP- 20 ppm and biosorbent dosage-0.1 g. The symmetry was attained at 75 min of acquaintance time. Experimental values were depicted with Freundlich and Langmuir models. Sorption equilibrium exhibited good robust to Langmuir model (R2 = 0.991).

MIL-53(Al)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites of different GO to MIL-53(Al) mass ratios (1% to 25% GO) were synthesized and tested for removal of arsenite (As(III)), which is a well-known groundwater contaminant. The properties of MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments were performed on MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites for As(III) adsorption in aqueous solutions to investigate adsorption kinetics and isotherm behavior under varying environmental conditions. The effects of solution pH (2 to 11), initial As(III) concentrations (10–110 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.2–3.0 g/L), and temperature (298–318 K) on As(III) adsorption were investigated. MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites showed higher adsorption of As(III) than pristine MIL-53(Al) and GO individually. As (III) removal was optimized at a ratio of 3% GO in the MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite, with an adsorption capacity of 65 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Overall, these results suggest that MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite holds a significant promise for use in the remediation of As (III) from groundwater and other aqueous solutions.
